The horse is evaluated by the judge in terms of its conformation and movement as a dressage horse. Generally, a nice dressage bridle is most appropriate. Walked and trotted at the judges' discretion. In very general terms, a dressage judge is going to look for a horse with balance, clean legs, deep girth and plenty of impulsion from the hindquarters. The horse needs to travel straight with good elasticity of gait.

Liberty Class:

Exhibitor provides music. Two persons/handlers in the arena to help direct the horse to use the whole arena. Halter is removed. Horse is turned loose at start of music for 1 1/2 minutes in the arena so the judge can view the horse moving in different gaits both directions of the arena. Animation and playfulness is also observed. When music is stopped exhibitor has up to 1 1/2 minutes to catch the horse. The person who released the horse must catch the horse.
