WENZ Judges Clinic in Rotorua was a LOT of learning, putting faces to names, comparing notes, watching some lovely horses and riders, and eating cake 😊
We had around 20 participants, some from as far away as Hawkes Bay and Taranaki. Having dinner together on Friday night was a great chance to get to know each other a bit better too.
Big thankyou to our Judge Educators - Jody Hartstone and Margaret Lees - for all the time put into this, and for helping to shape Working Equitation judging going forward. Having a clear and easily applied judging scale will ensure consistency of judging throughout New Zealand 😉👍
Thanks also to Working Equitation Bay of Plenty for hosting and to all of the wonderful demo riders we saw ⭐️
