Unfortunately, it is a very real problem.  Even someone who
means well and has experience conducting evaluations will have
a hard time resisting the natural urge to give people the
benefit of a doubt (cut them slack).  It is especially difficult
when the evaluator knows the rider and horse are having a bad
day.  They have been known to do task X, but they fail during
the evaluation.  Should they pass anyway, or not? 
 
I strongly agree. After working with different Posses  I have seen same team member evaluators past horse / rider teams that never could pass a test by a outside evaluator.
Outside evaluators would make everyone train harder and the whole team would benefit in the long run.
