[color=#457D6C][font=Petit Formal Script][size=120]The Judging[/size][/font][/color]
[list][*][b]Overall Scores[/b]
[list][*]Breed Suitability (x/20): Horses whose breed is allowed to compete at their level of eventing will receive an automatic 20 in this category. Horses that are within the accepted eventing breeds but not the level of eventing will receive a -5 penalty for each level between the one they are entered in and the one they are allowed in. (For example, an Appaloosa competing at the Preliminary Level will receive -15 points from their score). Breeds not accepted by the Eventing Society will receive an automatic 0 in this category. You are able to earn back up to 2 points or lose up to 2 points depending on the conformation of your horse. Grade horses are judged based upon the breeds they're a mix of and their conformation.
[*]Creativity (x/10): Creativity applies to everything in the photo, from the turnout of the horse and rider to the angles to the obstacles, and everything in between. Pay special attention to the details to get a full score. (This does not apply to editing)
[*]Quality of Editing (x/10): Editing is extremely important in photos, and can make or break your entry. Your editing as a whole will be judged, including blurring, color editing, mane and tail editing etc. Not editing your photos won’t completely penalize you, though points will be taken off if your photos are in need of touching up.
[*]Horse’s Traits (x/5): Your horse’s traits do matter during eventing. Some traits have more of an impact on your horse’s performance than others. [/list][/list]

[list][*][b]Dressage Scores[/b]
[list][*]Form (x/20): In dressage, form really is everything. The form score includes both the horse and rider’s form, and is dependent on the movement you have chosen. We will be nitpicky, especially at the upper levels, so make sure your horse and rider are perfect!
[*]Turnout (x/10): Turnout is incredibly important. Make sure to adhere to the turnout rules, and pay attention to little details regarding both horse and rider turnout.
[*]Luck (x/10): Dressage is a difficult sport, and even the best horses can mess up. Luck is randomly generated and can make or break your score. Better hope luck is on your side!
[*]Realism (x/10): Realism is extremely important to your score. You must make sure that every aspect of your entry is realistic, from the horse you’re using to the arena you’re in, and everything in between.[/list][/list]
[list][*][b]Cross Country Scores[/b]
[list][*]Form (x/20): Though cross country does not judge based on form, your form can affect your horse’s performance, both positively and negatively. It’s important to keep perfect form over jumps to make sure that you don’t hinder your horse’s abilities.
[*]Turnout (x/10): Though cross country turnout isn’t as strict color and attire wise, it is very strict in regards to safety. Make sure to follow the turnout rules exactly, because the smallest things can really add up.
[*]Luck (x/10): Cross country is an extremely intense sport, and even the best horses could spook at a jump or get themselves hurt. Your luck score is randomized, and can be very important to the final score for that event.
[*]Realism (x/10): Realism is very important in cross country events. Realism is judged on everything from the horse to turnout to the course you’re using. Pay attention to little details to make sure you get a good realism score![/list][/list]
[list][*][b]Show Jumping Scores[/b]
[list][*]Form (x/20): Though form is not explicitly judged, it is important to have correct form so your horse can move and jump easier. Form will be judged on a basis of whether or not the form of the horse and rider would hinder their final show jumping score.
[*]Turnout (x/10): Your turnout is very important in show jumping competitions. The correct turnout for both horse and rider could decide whether or not you will win. Pay extra attention to turnout regulations to ensure that you get a perfect score in this category.
[*]Luck (x/10): Luck will determine how well your horse and rider perform using a random generator. However great they are, not every horse has a flawless run, which is where the luck score comes into play.
[*]Realism (x/10): Realism is a very important aspect in show jumping. The obstacles have to be right, the arena has to have correct footing, and the way your horse moves can all contribute to the realism score. The appearance of controlled speed is also very important. Keep every little detail in mind to ensure a good score in this category.[/list][/list]
