  • Dear Bruce, Thank you again for such a fantastic product line. As a competitor and coach, these products make my life so much easier for my students, but I also feel that all of the Judge Editions you produce are essential.
    • As I have worked as a scribe at some top events, I have sadly observed judges who clearly do not know the tests and struggle while judging. Often, this happens when FEI International judges are asked to judge USEF national tests. It is then that I observe the judge having to read the test rather than observing the riders, which, in my humble opinion, is unfair to the competitors who work so hard and pay so much to get to these events. As the classes continue, the judge finally has the pattern, and then provides more eyes on the ring, but the first few competitors are not fairly assessed, whether good or bad. If USEF made a rule that every recognized competition had to always provide a Diagram Book in the judges' booth, this would certainly help level the playing field for all of the competitors.
    •  I recently judged an event where I was the judge at B. Unfortunately, the judge at C did not catch an "off course" until five movements had been completed by the rider, and they finished the test! Having your product would certainly make it less likely for this situation to happen AND help keep the show on time, as these issues always create time problems.
  • Again, thank you for all of your products! Respectfully yours, Margaret K. Boyce

  • I first saw one of your books when I was doing my "L" program training, sitting through two days of 60-70 rides a day with an "S" judge. She said something like, everyone I know uses them, everyone should have them.
    That's when I bought my first USEF one. Then did the USEA judging course -- having discovered your Eventing book in time -- and wowed my fellow candidates with my snazzy books.  Dressage Illustrated is the best.
