USDF Congratulates New L Education Program Graduates
Lexington, KY (December 14, 2022)
- The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is pleased to announce that
seventeen USDF members successfully graduated from the USDF L Education Program
in 2022. This program is designed to prepare candidates to enter the
USEF/ USDF 'r' Licensed Dressage Judge Training program, to qualify individuals
to judge schooling shows, and to give competitors, trainers, and instructors
greater insight into the evaluative process of judging dressage. The program
also serves to provide continuing education for licensed judges. The L
Education Program is an excellent opportunity for all USDF members to learn how
to improve their scores and improve their ability to view other rides from a
judge's perspective, whether or not they plan on becoming licensed judges
themselves. USDF L Education Program faculty are all approved USEF Senior (“S”)
dressage judges, who also have experience in teaching judge-training programs.
