This is a great opportunity to work out youth judging teams, or to just get an idea what a
judging team is all about!  Friday evening’s oral reason clinic will feature MSU graduate
student Alaina Parsons, and will provide information on the basics of evaluating stock
type Halter classes, and developing a set of reasons.  Saturday morning, participants
will have the chance to judge high quality Quarter horses, and deliver a set of reasons.
Each class will be critiqued by officials, and tips will be given on improving your
reasons.  We have divisions for Junior (9-13 yrs), Senior (14-19 yrs) and coaches or
adults!
