This clinic is designed to provide individuals who are, or aspire to be, horse show judges with practical “hands-on” experience in judging.
About this Event

Participating judges will have an opportunity to judge 20-27 conformation and performance classes, complete a required 20-25 question exam in each of the four divisions (Western, Hunter, Saddle Seat & Non Trotting), and receive certification in these four divisions. A panel of breed recognized professional judges from across the nation will discuss the class placings and present lectures on judging procedures. Individuals completing the clinic will be included on a list of suggested horse show judges that will be annually revised and distributed to open horse show organizations located in North Carolina and surrounding states. Judges receiving an average score of 90% or higher per show division will be certified for that respective division. A minimum of 33% of participating judges will be certified in each division. Certification will be awarded separately for each division. A judging list will be forwarded upon request to breed associations for applicant judges and horse show organizations throughout the United States. Participation in the NCSU Horse Judging Short Course is highly recommended but not required for individuals new to the judging experience.

For more details and a copy of the draft schedule, please visit the NCSU Open Horse Show Judges' Certification Clinic page on the Extension Equine Husbandry website.

Advanced registration is $75/day for participating judges (19 years and older). This fee includes all instruction, certification examinations, and inclusion on the 2025 NC Open Horse Judges' Certification List, as desired. A $15 late fee/day will be assessed to judging participants registering after the November 6, 2025 deadline date. Judges’ refunds will be honored if received in writing prior to November 21, 2025.
