Have you ever been thoroughly confused at what the judge at the horse show is looking for when judging a class?
If so, make plans to attend the annual Illinois State Horse Judges Seminar on March 31st, 2012 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the University of Illinois. The seminar is designed to encourage uniform standards for judging and exhibiting horses at Illinois youth and open shows. It will cover criteria for show ring tips, ethics and standards, judging multi-breed 4-H classes, type standards for stock, hunt, saddle and draft halter, Western showmanship, Western pleasure, stock and hunter seat equitation, Western riding and trail.Fees for this seminar are $20 for youth (under 18 years), $30 for adults and $50 for adults wishing to take the written and live judging exam for listing in the Illinois Horse Judge's Directory.
