Understanding Rhythm and Tempo. Cindy Butler joins us for ‘The Judges View’. Cindy is the current WDAA President and large ‘R’ judge gives us the definition of the terms and also why the terms can be confusing to western riders. She discusses common problems she sees in tempo when judging and also discusses judging gaited horses in western dressage. In the ‘Trainers Tip’ segment I’m joined by Lynn Palm. Lynn has been involved in western dressage from the beginning of the sport and in 2019 created the Lynn Palm Western Dressage Fund to increase knowledge and awareness of western dressage. Applicants can receive up to $2,000 per educational event. Lynn tells us about this fund and also offers her advice on improving the riders correct seat and aids and how that influences rhythm and tempo.
