Arabian Youth Judging Contest
|
Aspiring judges from around the continent, representing colleges, 4-H, FFA and AHA groups, score halter horses on Friday morning. Contestants judged a rigorous schedule of four halter and six performance classes. In each class, four horses must be evaluated, compared, and placed objectively. These placings are then scored against an ideal placing determined by a panel of three carded judges.
