Feedback from our Judges
Congratulations on your outstanding job of organizing this memorial Brumby of the year compilation and presentation of the entries with videos and stories was first class extending the entry date resulted in good numbers and high quality entries judging this event was different to any other, with not only turnout, conformation, movement obedience the only factor in decision making.
I became a bit emotional reading some of the stories dropping a tear or 2 on several ..maybe we should run another competition based solely on stories of the origin of each entrant and how it’s current life progressed from there as that would ,I am sure create much interest..
*********************************
I will tell you how I scored. I split score in to 3 categories 1. Type 2. Temperament/Trainability 3. Ambassador factor i.e commands attention. All out of 10. As all entrants were varied I did my best to apply the 3 factors carefully. It was hard to go past horses that are multi-disciplined and out there doing what they do best, showing their versatility. It was so difficult because they are all beautiful Brumbies with incredible stories that are a testimate to their rough start mainly at the hand of Humans yet they want nothing more than to love and serve us.
Can I please thank all the entrants for stepping up as advocates for our Brums and for their lovely stories. I can tell you I teared up a few times. In the end had set a benchmark score out of 30. Naturally some of these kids are babies and all can change dramatically once mature and going.
*******************************
I would like it to be known that i loved all of the stories and everyone involved has my full respect and admiration. By way of explanation, which i believe everyone deserves, as a rider i based my choices? Preferences on those under saddle that were the most forward going.
******************************
