You judge on a lot of things, first of all the position of the rider. It is very important for the horse and rider to have elegance as well. Next, you look for the smoothness of there gait. Is it too fast? Too slow? Also if the rider is told to perform a specific movement and they mess up, they lose points. But the part that you lose most points for if you do incorrectly, is if you're on the right lead. Which means when you are doing posting trot and when you go up the horses outside leg should stretch forward. If his inside leg is stretching forward you are in the incorrect lead and will lose points.
