USDF L Education Program – Part 1, Session A
February 17 - February 18
IDS is pleased to host Part 1 of the USDF L Education Program in the Winter/Spring of 2024!
Developed by the USDF Judges’ Committee, this educational training program teaches judges to evaluate the correct training of dressage horses.
The L Education Program is designed with several goals in mind:
- Provide trainers, instructors, competitors and spectators’ insight into the evaluative techniques of judging dressage.
- Prepare and evaluate candidates who wish to pursue entry into the USEF ‘r’ Judge Training Program.
- Provide continuing education for licensed judges and L graduates.
The Program is divided into two parts; each part is made up of three sessions. IDS will be hosting Part 1 – “A Judge’s Perspective” which is open to all USDF Members; this is the educational foundation of the program.
