Are judges really as scary as we sometimes think?

This is just one of the questions that EquiTeam's Liz Daniels put to British Dressage Judge Gillian Peters, on this week's podcast. Gillian is a BD List 1 judge, the Scottish Judge Regional representative, a coach and has also competed to advanced level, an accolade of achievements she has juggled around a job and family life. Gillian shares where the motivation for her inspiring journey to become a List 1 judge came from, and why she drove 1,000 miles to judge ten horses. Adding a brilliant perspective from inside the judge's box, Gillian shares why sometimes the judges might be as apprehensive as the riders trotting down the centre line, and why she thinks getting a nine is achievable. With a clear passion for the sport and training, Gillian delves into why she thinks test riding training is invaluable, and why training to be a judge is now more accessible than ever before. Whether you're interested in becoming a judge, or are a rider yourself, this is a must-listen episode to dispel the myths of being a judge.
