[edit] More elaboration...?

I was just wondering if perhaps you wanted more elaboration on the types of English riding and how you are judged while at a horse show. I could add some of this.

Hi! Please remember to sign your posts!  ;-)

This English riding article is a short summary piece intended as general info. If you note the wiki links, there are extensive, detailed articles on dressage, hunt seat, saddle seat, show hunter, show jumping, eventing, classical dressage, and equitation and equestrianism generally, as well as a short article on horse shows. It is possible that those articles could use some additions, but look them over first before editing.

Your message does also suggest that the links to the main articles should be more clear so people can find them, however, and I can make that tweak. I think there may also be room for a new article on judging criteria or maybe an expansion within the horse show article, though, as you will see in the show jumping and pony club articles, Wikipedia is worldwide and once we start talking about rules, people get confused. Usually it's better to just reference judging standards with a link to the United States Equestrian Federation, the FEI, the USDF or whomever... Montanabw 06:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
