Susan Posner of Lexington, KY judging at ASB dressage show in St. Louis

[asb_own_me]

I read in the latest Saddle & Bridle that Susan Posner will be the judge for the dressage competition at the St. Louis National Charity show. This division was added to the show last year and is open to registered ASBs and half-ASBs.

I plan to take my green bean, Atlas, down to compete in Intro I & II while I'm there with "Puppy" (St. Louis is where the world championship for the ASB hunter division is held), and I was wondering if anyone here knows of Susan, has shown to her, etc? PMs appreciated - thanks!

I have known Susan for almost two years and she was my instructor before I moved to Northern Kentucky. She is a great instructor/trainer and judge!! I'm sure how well you do she will have some great feedback! Good luck at the show! :)

I don't know if this is too late, but I had her as a judge for my training level test 4. I received a score of 70% the day before, but she gave me a 63%. She really wants them UP in frame. Granted, my horse was a little pooped from the weekend, but it was still a solid test. I was surprised.

Not too late - that show isn't until the end of September.

kisstell09 - what do you mean by "UP in frame"? Higher headed? More bend to the neck? I'm not familiar with that phrase. Thanks!

Absolutely! You have to meet my boys :D The Pupster and Atlas would both appreciate Peeps....something that Classy will never do!
