109. JUDGING RESTRICTIONS

The following restrictions for affiliated dressage competitions must be observed:-
a) The Judge may not be the owner of or have a financial interest in any horse in the class.
b ) The Judge may not be in a relationship with or a close relative of a rider or owner.
c) No Judge may judge a horse at Advanced level which has been in their ownership within 2 years of the date of the competition
concerned.
d) No Judge may judge a horse at levels up to and including Advanced Medium, if that horse has been in their ownership within one year of the date of the competition concerned.
e) The judge should do their best to avoid judging any combination with whose training he/she has been involved on a regular basis, unless exceptional circumstances demand it, (for example
at very short notice,) and in this instance a possible conflict of interest must be recorded with the Organiser. Regular training is defined as lessons given fortnightly and would include any training given in the 2 weeks preceding the competition.
f) No Judge should judge a musical freestyle if they have participated in the making of a musical tape used by a competitor in the class.
g) Judges, writers, course keepers or other persons within earshot of the Judge, may not write up a commentary for publication of the class concerned.
h) British Dressage reserves the right to refuse an application from a judge for upgrading to any list, without giving a reason.
i) Judging duration- A Judge can reasonably be asked to judge for a recommended four hours, which should include a break of at least half an hour. British Dressage recommends that after judging 10 horses, judges be allowed a 15 minute break.
