You want to ride your best and finally see it reflected on the score sheet.

You're already putting in the effort — weekly rides, clinics, test prep

But come competition day, the scores don't reflect the work

You're not asking for perfection — just progress that actually shows.

But something’s not clicking

You feel frustrated after tests that felt good… but scored poorly

You're not always sure what judges are actually looking for

Lessons help, but test day still feels like a mystery

You’re not alone. And it’s not your fault.

Hi, I’m Kay Barney — national A-level dressage judge, rider, and coach.

I’ve judged hundreds of tests.

I've watched talented riders — just like you — lose easy marks simply because no one ever taught them how judges think.

At My Rider Site, we fix that.

You ride for the marks — and you get them

You become the kind of rider who turns consistency into confidence — and passion into progress.
