Disorganized as usual! Office opened at 8.20am to get your numbers even though the rings started at 9am! Warming up was ridiculous! The small end of Keysoe for 3 rings!!! And I'm sorry but I don't like to comment on Judges but the ride judge for Hacks and Riding Horses was abysmal. She looked scared to death and didn't give any of the horses a good ride sent a few out the ring and us on ringside couldn't understand why. Wondered why for RI classes the entries were so poor, now we know why will deff give her a miss in future. As always Martin Skelton rode superbly. Pity he couldn't done all the ride judging.

you wouldn't be the first to mention the apparent lack of confidence of this particular ride judge or the fact she only rides in the arena these days. I don't bother with her any more as I would hate to have the horse she finally bottles it on.

Is it possible for comments to be made about judges in a more 'general' way. That poor girl who is the ride judge, she may have lost her confidence, but if she reads such distructive comments, it may totally destroy her.
I am up for constructive critisism, but I am not into ruining a person.

We all have off days I must admit. Just waiting for my turn at being slated.....gulp!! Having been chased into the toilets by a disgruntled competitor and manhandled by another, I ain't looking forward to it. LOL who would be a judge!

I was not that ride judge at BSPA, but I know of the lady in question. When I had one bolt with me and take me 3 times around a large ring with zero brakes to the extent I was measuring up the rails into the collecting ring for a quick exit, that particular lady judge was co-judge. She calmly commented that she would have gone for the rails into the next door ring as the landing was better and would I hurry up and ride the rest as we were running behind. I think she is unflappable and a d**n good rider to boot.
