Topics will include organizing and delivering oral reasons, formulating a judging system, and effective use of terminology. The training session will use a variety of video horse judging classes as a model for training on class placing and oral reason training. The clinic participants are divided into four categories based on their experience level (cloverbud, rookie, non-rookie, and adults/coaches) and are then divided into break-out groups that allow for individual attention and hands-on, critical-thinking activities.
