COURSE DISCRIPTION: Announcing the 27th Annual North Carolina Horse Judging Clinic at the Jim Martin Confrence Center on the N.C. State main Fairgrounds in Raleigh. This clinic is designed to provide individuals who are, or aspire to be, horse show judges with practical "hands on" experience in judging saddle seat, hunt seat, non trotting and western classes. Participating judges will have an opportunity to judge 22-26 conformation and performance classes, complete a required 50 question exam in each of the four divisions, and receive certification in these four divisions. A panel of breed recognized professional judges, featuring top national judges, will discuss the class placings and present lectures on judging procedures. Individuals completing the clinic will be included on a list of suggested horse show judges that will be annually revised and distributed to open horse show organizations located in North Carolina and surrounding states. Judges receiving an average score of 90% or higher per show division will be certified for that respective division. A minimum of 33% of participating judges will be certified in each division. Certification will be awarded separately for each division. A judging list will be forwarded upon request to breed associations for applicant judges and horse show organizations throughout the United States. Participation in the October 28-30, 2011 NCSU Horse Judging Short Course is highly recommended but not required for individuals new to the judging experience.
