The programme for the 2016 Principles of Judging seminar has been released and, with an exciting new format, it promises to be a must-not-miss event for all!
Hosted by top international riders and trainers Jo Graham, Clive Halsall, Judy Harvey and Gareth Hughes at Moulton College, Northamptonshire on 22 – 23 October 2016, the seminar will incorporate watching live horses in the arena and classroom sessions of your choice. Happy riding or marking leg yields but want to learn more on simple or flying changes? Not a problem. Perhaps you want to learn about the collective marks and indulge in a debate or maybe learn about the importance of accuracy by watching demo riders. Whatever your preference, you can choose which session you’d like to attend.
Although an official seminar for judges from trainees to list 3A, it’s open to all interesting in learning from the best. No matter what your role; a judge, rider, owner, trainer or dressage fan, the seminar has something for everyone.
Tickets start from just £30 and are available for either day or the whole weekend. To purchase your tickets, click here.
