Dressage by the Numbers
A Follow Up of dressage competition statistics from the analysts that brought us the stats based on the 2008 USEF Proposal for a Performance Standard
The 2008 USEF proposal for a Performance Standard was the catalyst that brought together a group of like-minded scientific types on the Chronicle of Horse Bulletin Board. Being qualified scientists in their respective fields, they performed an analysis on the 2008 nationwide USDF recognized show scoring patterns. Thus, the CotH “Nerd Herd” was born. Ultimately the proposed rule was withdrawn. But the Nerd Herd’s interest in applying statistical analysis techniques to U.S. dressage remained. A smaller sub-set of the Herd, re-christened as the Dressage Statistical Analysis Group (DSAG), has completed the analysis of 2009 scores. The key findings in this data can be grouped by region, level and breed. For the complete analysis, click here.
