Testimonials from 2018 participants:
"The HSJ Judges Seminar was a unique and excellent experience! It was great to hear from expert carded judges while attaining real show ring experience. By participating in this seminar not only will you improve your own judging, but you will also make industry connections with fellow judges. I would highly recommend this seminar for anyone thinking of becoming a carded judge or even just to improve your judging experience!"
Amelia King
"Horse Show Judges Seminar is a great experience for not only up and coming judges or judges needing a refresher course but also for the competitor to know and better understand what judges are looking for. The instructors were high quality, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive to make sure we understood what and why we are looking for in each horse class. I can’t recommend attending this seminar enough. It’s a must! Much thanks again for a great experience!"
Erin Babcock
