Disqualifications

I am having quite a few horses DQ'd out of a currently judging show. There's no judge's note attached. I've tried to reach out via private messaging but have no response (and I know those are easily overlooked).

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or just me, but I've checked the breed assignments, etc and there's nothing obviously amiss. They're mostly established members of my show string who have done fine in similar classes before.

Could the judge please reach out to me (preferably via private messaging or email) to let me know what they felt was wrong with these entries? The judge's decision is always final, but without knowing what was wrong, I have no way of understanding what I need to fix.

Thanks!

I find this frustrating also.

Recently had a model DQ in the Draft & Pony Foals/Yearlings class, and I can't figure out why.
Judge did not leave any comments or remarks.

In all my shows— for every DQ'n, I always leave a comment as to why.

I appreciate when judge's take the time & effort to leave behind comments, and I like doing same for my shows.
I enjoy reading others' perspectives, and learning how I might improve my entries..

Around 2 AM last night (it was a restless night) I *think* I narrowed it down to the "model has been changed since entry" alert (see my post on Site Bugs). I recently took a bunch of new stablemate alternate pictures and added them to a bunch of my horses. I think it would account for all the DQ's.

I always leave a comment if I'm DQ'ing a horse.
