Talking dressage sheets

[kick_On]

What do you do with yours?
I file all of mine, then once get new one will compare comment for same test and or same judge, just to see where improvement/failure is happening. And will also take to instructor if feel comment need to be explain further.
Have been know to burn them, well only one it was crap judging as comments were competely silly and wrong, almost complained but put it down to experience

im the same as you - i keep all mine, and compare tests/judges. Its really the whole point of competing, to see where you are improving each time and where you are dropping marks etc.

I keep all mine compare by venue, horse, judge, and time of year, can you tewll I work as an analyst!!!!! God that makes me look really bad. I do show to my trainer too.

Im sad i have a lil book that all the tests get put away in, nice to look back and see the improvements
tho i do seemto end up keep riding the same tests!

 

[Little_Mare]

Same as you but must say I've never burned one! I also occasionally (usually if the judging has been a bit lame) made my own notes in pencil so that I can compare more effectively - what a geek!!!

 

[MagicMelon]

I keep mine as well. If Im organised enough to get someone to film my dressage test then I can compare afterwards which is useful. Otherwise I get a test out if the upcoming competition is using a judge Ive had before - then I can see what she's picked up on in the past and can try super hard on those things!

Yep mine all go away in a folder and are filed by test number so I can compare. When I was moving house I nearly threw them all out now Mac's retired but just could not do it. They're in a box in the garage somewhere.

I have mine all in a folder too and will take them to lessons if need be. At the moment the common thing coming on my sheets is restriction through the shoulder

I think it would be a really good idea if BD sold test folders to put all your dressage test's in. They could do them in a different colour for each level. Just like how you can buy the folder with all the test papers in. I was thinking about this the other day, lol how sad!

 

[dozzie]

I keep mine in a drawer or five!! I think I have only ever torn one up in disgust but only when I got home!! I still read them from time to time to remind me how good my old chap was when he was in his prime...and I could catch him! LOL

 

[Diane_Pepper]

yeah i'm the same - i keep all mine!
but i can confess that i'm a total geek with results, i have made graphs with placings after dressage, SJ, XC & total scores to check our improvement & even add trend lines in to see which phase we're going imrpoving in & which phase needs more work!!

here's an example:

god, i must be the saddest eventer!!
