Join us for the AHJA 4th Quarter Education & Social Event at the Tucson Fall Classic Horse Show on Friday, November 6 for a unique behind-the-scenes look at what goes into designing and judging a winning round.
Course Designer Amanda Flint will lead an educational course walk, discussing the strategy, philosophy, and technical considerations behind building hunter, jumper, and equitation tracks. Learn how course design challenges horse-and-rider partnerships while encouraging development, accuracy, and horsemanship.
Joining Amanda will be respected judges Diane Carney and Gary Young, who will share their perspectives from the judge's booth. Discover what catches a judge's eye, common mistakes that impact scores, and what separates a good round from a great one. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from both the professionals who build the courses and the judges who evaluate them.
