Questionnaire: The aspects of dressage riding

[Aquintis]

Hey equestrian!
I'm a student in Equine Science in Holland, and in collaboration with Equinnolab I need your help with answering some questions for my Bachelor thesis research. The research is about the aspects of dressage riding and the questionnaire will take you approximately 30 minutes to fill in.

Thanks in advance!

This will be the last week that the questionnaire will be online and I still need at least 10 completely filled in questionnaires. Can you help me out?

Hey Batgirl! Sorry to hear it's confusing for you. The idea is, that you can distribute points on each subject. If you find one subject more important than the other, you can give that one more points. In total you can distribute as many points as there are subjects, so if you think everything is equally important, then you can give everything a 1. Someone from the Chron of Horse forum has described it very nicely:

"My understanding is that they want to find objective ways to assess the desirable qualities of a dressage horse and rider that are currently judged subjectively. For example, how could you objectively assess how much the rider is leaning forward? Perhaps by monitoring the weight distribution in the saddle and shoulder-hip-ankle alignment. Out of 10 points, I might assign 5 to each of these if I think they would be equally important in assessing the rider's position with regarding to leaning forward."

I hope this helps you!
