This is what the Dressage Judge's Notecard looks like. Some judges might want to do their scoring on a Windows Notepad file and then copy/paste the text into the SL Notecard. (This is especially helpful if you have 2 monitors.) If you would like to try that, CLICK HERE to download a simple Text file of the card.

Guidelinesfor scoring:
Judging will be on a scale from 0-5
0 meaning that the move was not completed
5 meaning it was completed flawlessly
Each score is given in whole numbers only, so no 4.5's or 2.5's etc
There will also be 5 categories on which each pony/trainer duo will be judged for overall performance.
Accuracy - The pony's accuracy in following the figures of the arena (stay within the lines, the lines are our friends). Each of the five courses on the dressage field will be given an accuracy rating.
Command - How well the trainer commands the pony within the ring. Only one rating for this is needed, and will be judged after the round.
Presentation - This is a broad category covering how well they work as a team, as well as how a pony and trainer interact in the ring. Is the pony well cared for, eager to please? These are all contributing factors in presentation. Only one rating for this is needed, and will be judged after the round. + pony's behaviour
Responsiveness - The pony's willingness and speed at obeying commands as they are given. Only one rating for this is needed, and will be judged after the round.
Rhythm and Regulation - The smoothness in which the pony moves about the dressage ring, specifically in transitions both from curves to straight and from figure to figure. Only one rating for this is needed, and will be judged after the round.
