Have an interest in becoming an MFTHBA carded judge?
Then you are invited to participate in the 2018 Judge’s Clinic!
On Saturday, live demonstrations by the breed’s top trainers will provide an educational experience for performance & model divisions. Experienced judges and trainers will be “partnering” to define the standards of the Missouri Fox Trotter & demonstrate the variances in gait & conformation that our competing horses exhibit in the performance show ring. Information will also cover “how to judge”: covering rules, procedure, etiquette, & accountability.
Sunday will cover a review portion & then will move into a clinical “horse show”. Each class will be broken down with an explanation as the “judge’s in training” turn in their results. This is a great opportunity to get “hands-on” training as you take on the responsibility from center ring.
Already have a judge’s card? Or had one in the past that needs to be renewed? You are welcome to attend too! Attendance will be recorded in your judge’s file as continuing education. If you would like to attend but do not intend to apply for a judge’s card you are welcome to view the clinic. Bring a chair and plan to attend for a $10.00 viewing fee.
