We are soliciting applications to participate as a demo rider (Friday, August 16) and/or competitor (Saturday/Sunday, August 17 & 18) at our upcoming Judge Training and Calibration session being held at the Oregon Horse Center’s Prairie Arena.

The Saturday competition will give judges attending the event the opportunity to listen to the presiding judge’s comments and scores. The Sunday competition will give them the chance to score the rides as part of a calibration exercise that is part of the requirements for promotion as a judge. Only the presiding judges’ scores will be used for placing at the competition.

Points / scores earned at these competitions can be used for Regional and National Leaderboard standing as well as to qualify for the Championships.
