The scores are then averaged and the winner is the competitor with the highest average score, when converted to a percentage. Generally, the judges look for a smooth, flowing, and precise test.

emotionally attached to Andy and deep down inside I wanted to keep Andy but, didn't have the confidence to work through my issues on my own.

Andy is a lovely dressage horse and needed to be in a full training program that would get him back into shape again physically and emotionally. Andy's confidence had eroded over time due to me and my confidence issues. Andy is a very sensitive horse that needs a good confident rider and leader which Doug was for Andy. Doug has been wonderful working with Andy these past 6 months and has done a great job in bringing Andy back to good form. Doug has been very successful showing Andy this summer and they have always been in first place with really nice scores It has been a pleasure knowing and working with Doug. The best thing I could have done for me and my horse, was to bring him to Doug's barn for training.
He was sold just following the Bengt Lunquist Memorial Championships. To cap off the successful fall he was named 3rd place in the Eastern States Dressage and Combined Training Association's year end awards.
