In this episode, I'm diving into my notes and reflections on The View from C — an old school gem by Olympic judge and vet Dr. Dietmar Specht. While some parts of the book feel a bit outdated, I found so many valuable insights on the training scale, judging philosophy, and how our role as judges goes far beyond numbers on a score sheet. From the nuances of contact and impulsion to the weight of judging responsibly for the future of our sport, this episode is a deeper look into the layers that shape dressage — and what keeps me passionate about it.
