In How to NOT Annoy the Judge, nationally respected horse trainer and horse show judge Allison Deardorff pulls back the curtain on what truly influences placings in the show ring and what quietly works against you.
This is not a book about riding theory or textbook horsemanship. It is a candid, insider's guide to the factors many exhibitors underestimate, but every judge considers. From warm-up ring behavior and ring strategy to presentation, professionalism, mindset, and timing, Deardorff explains how small choices shape major outcomes.
Written with honesty, humor, and hard-earned perspective, this book is for riders, trainers, and parents who want more than good ribbons. They want consistency, credibility, and long-term success.
If you have ever wondered why one ride wins while another doesn't, or why some competitors seem to rise effortlessly to the top, this book will permanently change how you see the show ring.
