USDF Congratulates New L Education Program Graduates
Lexington, KY (December 16,
2016) - The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) is pleased to announce
that thirteen USDF members successfully graduated from the USDF L Education
Program (L Program) in 2016. This program is designed to prepare candidates to
enter the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) “r” Judges 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 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 Program faculty are approved USEF
Senior (“S”) dressage judges, who have experience in teaching judge-training
programs.
