Description:
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This short course is designed for individuals with judging experience, who may or may not currently hold breed association judging cards. Participants who have successfully completed the introductory level judging short course are eligible to attend the advanced level short course regardless of judging experience. The short course is an excellent final tune-up for judges preparing to attend the Color Breed Seminar or take breed association judging exams or participate in future NC Open Horse Show Judges’ Certification Clinics or the AQHA Specialized Novice Judging Short Course. This short course will improve a judge’s use of various scoring systems to consistently place classes. Participants will judge a variety of classes on videotape including western pleasure, western and hunt seat equitation, showmanship at halter, western riding, reining, trail, hunter hack, working hunter and hunt seat equitation over fences. Participants will receive a current NCSU Horse Judging Manual. The majority of the course will focus on the scoring and placing of classes with minimal lecture time. FEE: The fee for the two-day clinic is $100.00. Registration must be postmarked by November 10, 2009 to avoid a $25 late fee.
