Nations members, you are the first to see the 2011 RTTH Legends Scores. Judge Marian Buehler will be available to Nations members for a question and answer session to go over the rules and regulations of RTTH. Every RTTH judge is selected based on their knowledge and experience in Natural Horsemanship methods and practices.
The score represents the opinion of the judges and because of this Marian is only able to answer questions for herself. The purpose of Marian’s presents to Nation members is to help RTTH fans understand how each contestant is judged based on the official rules and regulations of the RTTH. Please keep in mind that Marian’s input is only 1 of the 5 judges that judge the event.
Some basic things to know about how RTTH is judged…Each participant is judged in categories. Of the five judges, the highest and lowest score in each challenge for each contestant is removed and the scores of the remaining judges are added together for the total.
