I had a fantastic day judging at the trec champs today My first time ever judging. I got the Ridden S-bend and it turned out to be a great obstacle to judge. Its one of my fav's to ride, but was good to judge as was really interesting seeing how everyone tackled it.
It was also great to see such a variety of horses and ponies from little icelandics and native breeds to chunky cobs and draught types. Also lots of different temperaments, some really pingy types and some more chilled and laid back. And you couldn't tell from watching them approach who'd do well and score full marks and who'd knock poles.
Its really spurred me on to try and get out to some comps next season
