I took enough stats in college to be able to comprehend it well enough, but I didn't end up using it on a day to day basis at my job. That said, I would totally break out my old stats books for dressage! I think this a really good learning tool! If only teachers would just have taught me math in terms of ponies I would have paid attention way better in high school!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411599470246102708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-66412287791339689312015-09-14T06:48:00.767-07:002015-09-14T06:48:00.767-07:00hahahahaha the crazy is strong over here, that'...hahahahaha the crazy is strong over here, that's for sure :Demmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-15154004577835468582015-09-14T06:47:02.218-07:002015-09-14T06:47:02.218-07:00OH MY... you didn't.... you didn't just go...OH MY... you didn't.... you didn't just go and make a hard core chart lol!

I think that's a longer term project tho bc I don't think my current sample size is big enough to draw such granular conclusions (like I might only have one test representative of riding in rain - fair hill; and only two tests in extreme heat). It would be super cool tho!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-35140305359844250702015-09-12T07:57:58.114-07:002015-09-12T07:57:58.114-07:00So I did actually have to fudge the spark lines to...So I did actually have to fudge the spark lines to make them work. Tests BN A and B aren't really separated chronologically - I've ridden both interchangeably over the last year at the discretion of the venue. So the spark lines for movements just in A or just in B had to be rearranged to be lines instead if points, but they don't line up any more by date. <br /><br />All this to say - the progression in scores from A to B might not mean actual progress. Particularly with the submission score. So I think what's really happening is that with the longer test B that has more trotting, we settle into a better rhythm that simply produces a nicer picture, therefore giving the appearance of better submission. All the same tho, I'll be happy to keep nudging that score up!!<br /><br />But really this was a super fun exercise an you should totally do it for TC too to track his progress. Not only was it cool to see unexpected results (the right lead canter for instance) but it's already helping me better understand our rides and where to focus. emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-55655674900117305472015-09-12T07:39:37.622-07:002015-09-12T07:39:37.622-07:00This is straight up awesome, plus sparklines are l...This is straight up awesome, plus sparklines are luvvvv.

I want to do the thing!<br /><br />It's so interesting to see things crop up that you wouldn't expect, like the right lead canter. Where maybe in general the right lead isn't as good as the left, that one left lead issue at Jenny Camp and then really focusing on that difficult turn/transition to the right can actually make your scores look better right than left. <br /><br />And the free walk at BN B is interesting. Hopefully part of the factor in the improvement from A to B is that you guys are getting better, but the shorter diagonal is definitely easier and that's a really interesting observation. I think TC will do better on shorter diagonals too, he gets distracted if we have to walk across the long diagonal. <br /><br />Also those submission scores! They are improving by a full point every time you move up a test! Even if it's the weakest collective, it's got a really solid upward trend. Yay!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255900012774193536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-21732754660558152012015-09-12T06:54:08.324-07:002015-09-12T06:54:08.324-07:00Haha I may or may not be guilty of over thinking s...Haha I may or may not be guilty of over thinking some things, but this kind of stuff is fun for me.
