The USEA Training Program for Eventing Officials (TPEO) educates the next generation of officials, providing them with the skills they need to support the sport as licensed officials, including judges, technical delegates, and course designers. Competitions can’t occur without quality officials to ensure the safe running of events and that all safety rules and precautions are followed to the letter.
The Dressage Session II Training Program is a continuation of the Dressage Session I Training Program that was held earlier this year at Longwood Farm South, where Eventing Judges Janis Linnan and Loris Henry instructed attendees on the biomechanics of the horse and how it is reflected in the training scale of judging. Both training program sessions are required to obtain a “r” Eventing Judge license.
Marilyn Payne’s Applewood Farm in Califon, New Jersey is hosting the Dressage Session II Training Program May 7-8, 2018, and auditors are welcomed and encouraged. This two-day program continues to develop the judge’s eye by utilizing live horses/riders to ride both sections of tests and complete tests, which the prospective judges will score, comment on, and discuss. This is an excellent opportunity for those who want to get inside the judge’s head as well as see and hear the new 2018 USEF dressage tests dissected and explained by panelists Marilyn Payne and Cindy De Porter. Auditors may pay on-site if they wish, however, pre-registration is much appreciated.
