Judges
Getting involved in dressage isn't just about the riders! Our judges are a vital part of our sport, without them we wouldn't be able to run all of our competitions.
Judging
Many trainers and riders, from Novice level onwards, use their knowledge to progress into a career of judging. They find that it helps their test riding skills as well as their riding generally and ability to teach. Nearly 1,600 British Dressage judges perform this vital voluntary role, which includes over 600 trainee judges.
If you are a Trainee or listed judge you can access our judges information and update pages below, this includes the new diagrammatic, 'view from C' versions of the new 2024 tests. You will be required to input your BD online username and password for the pages below as it is restricted to judge access only.

Judge's feedback form

Find a judge
Our database of dressage judges will enable you to locate a suitable dressage judge for your competition.
Writing
Activity within British Dressage simply couldn't happen without its strong network of officials and volunteers, and being a writer is one of those key volunteering roles that are integral to our sport. If you're also a rider, volunteering to write for a judge will give you an even better insight into what judges are looking for, which can help your own performance!
