A very good article written in 2019 but very relevant. 😃
Klaus Balkenhol talking about problems in dressage judging:
'It is a worry, I see some horses that are really nice and relaxed, but they don't get the good score, and other horses are not always regular, especially in the passage, but still they score too much. The problem a lot of the time is the judges, and the judges' schooling is not good enough. We need one judge who can say 'this is correct', all the people coming to him asking what is the correct way - but now we have many many judges, and no leader."
