Show judges angry

[CharlotteFox]

over exclusion from recommended judges list...

Sports Horse Breeding of Great Britain must have some rationale for this exclusion. I am just slightly surprised that they didn't take some steps to consult with the people involved or provide suggestions for further training. Unless it's a mistake, it must have been a bit of a shock, after all 'judging' is largely a voluntary activity. What do you think?

Depends where you are in the chain imho. IF you are the owner/rider/connnection of a 4yo which you feel was not well ridden by a judge... three guesses how you would view it. Personally I've seen these judges give some very good rides, I'd almost say education ones for some young horses. That's my personal feeling but then I don't own a show horse these days!

Some of the judges excluded were brilliant ride judges, yet some that remain i wouldnt let within 20ft of my horse
