How are performances evaluated across different classes generally?

Performances are evaluated based on how well the horse and rider execute the required maneuvers, the quality of their movement, overall control, and how closely the performance aligns with the standards of the class. This means scoring emphasizes accuracy, smoothness, responsiveness, and manners rather than superficial factors like attire color, spectator count, or ride length. Each class has its own specific maneuvers and emphasis, but the consistent idea is that judges assess skill, training, and suitability to what the class is designed to evaluate.
