Since I'm still new at showing, I want and need all the feedback I can get, so I'm constantly asking questions here, bugging poor Liz (Nootka -- who has been incredibly helpful) and others. I study photos of my horse in the ring and after, and I watch other horses and handlers to learn all that I can.
I would love to get feedback from judges when I show, but I don't want to pester them when they're busy or (worst of all) come across as "Why didn't my horse win?" On the other hand, when I've seen a judge after the show or on break, I figure they are enjoying a well-earned break and I hate to bother them then, too.
Is there a polite way and time to ask a judge for feedback regarding my horse and how I am handling him?
