COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Youth and adults interested in learning how to excel as competitors and coaches in competitive 4-H, FFA, and inter-collegiate horse judging contests are invited to attend the training session. Topics will include organizing and delivering oral reasons, formulating a judging system, and effective use of terminology. The training session will use a variety of video horse judging classes as a model for training on class placing and oral reason training. The clinic participants are divided into four categories based on their experience level (cloverbud, rookie, non-rookie, and adults/coaches) and are then divided into break-out groups that allow for individual attention and hands-on, critical-thinking activities.

The topics for our horse judging groups include an overview of how horse judging contests work and also how to organize and prepare oral reasons (rookie); Judging Ranch Riding, Effectively and Correctly Using Scoring Systems, and Developing Flows to Improve your Oral Reasons (non-rookie). Cloverbuds will learn parts of the horse, colors, and markings and also learn how to judge halter classes.

An afternoon session for all individuals interested in expanding their knowledge for the Horse Bowl and Hippology contests will occur following the lunch break. For the Rookie participants, we review the components of the contest and then hold a mock Hippology contest where participants will be able to take a sample Hippology exam, and complete a set of slide IDs in a constructive, learning-centered environment. Junior and Senior Hippology participants will learn how to prepare and present a team problem, and how to navigate stations.

Our Horse Bowl portion of the clinic involves randomized teams within experience levels playing each other in a “mock contest” format! Participants will learn about scoring, rules, and the type of questions to study for and expect in a real contest!
