Unveil the Mystery of Judging
Judging Hunters & Equitation WTF? (Want The Facts?) - The Workshop is an exciting new two-day clinic based on the book of the same name by Julie Winkel and Tricia Booker. This Workshop, which may be held at your facility, school or association, takes the mystery of out judging Hunters and Equitation and allows you to understand step-by-step the processes involved through an educational yet entertaining platform.
You’ll also hear first-hand accounts and stories from two judges with a combined 60+ years in the judge’s box. From learning how judges keep their cards and the process of scoring, to taking part in live judging of conformation, under saddle and jumping classes, you’ll never look at judging the same again while becoming a savvier competitor in the show ring!

Improve Your Show Ring Strategies
In addition, you’ll gain valuable insight into how the United States Hunter Jumper Association and the United States Equestrian Federation prepare and educate their licensed officials in a live format, which is no longer offered by the organizations.
This Workshop, which benefits the Goodtoknow Horses 501(c)3, is a wonderful educational opportunity for riders, trainers, parents, judges and anyone interested in learning more about judging and the processes involved, from ethics and integrity to bookkeeping, rules and licensing.
Please contact us for available dates in 2022 and for more information. Registration may be tax deductible.
