"L" Education Program

Developed by the USDF Judges’ Committee, this educational training program features a faculty of experienced, USDF-approved, United States Equestrian Federation recognized “S” judges. This program offers a comprehensive curriculum created to teach participants and auditors to evaluate dressage performance at Training through Second Level.

Purpose

This program has been designed with several goals in mind:

1. To give competitor, trainers, and instructors broader insight into the evaluative techniques of judging dressage;
2. To qualify individuals to judge schooling shows.
3. As part of the prerequisites to enter the United States Equestrian Federation 'r' Judges Training Program;
4. To serve as continuing education for licensed judges.
