Super and provocative interview. How does judging and training at the top levels effect how we train and what we train for at home? What does it mean to “take and then let go”, how do riders become more coordinated, how would you describe “thoroughness” and how do you train for it and teach it? What does it mean to be “effective” and why is this critical? What does any of this have to do with welfare besides everything (EEE= effective, evidence-based, ethical). What do you think?

Lots in this interview with Leif Tornblad, worth thinking about what he says:
“I said it cannot be right that we give high marks for horses behind the vertical, with front legs up in the sky and hind legs lagging behind, and of course it stirred up a bit of discussion. I have to be careful what I say, but we see some top placed horses that do not take weight on hind legs in transitions and that do not over-track in extensions still being awarded with high marks. But the fact that I brought it up, created discussion and changed the attitude amongst the judges. I think I have a slight influence… But I am in line with many others who are saying the same things.”
