The USEF is pleased to announce the 2007 Connemara and Welsh Judges’ Clinic to be held Saturday, October 20, 2007 in Rancho Cordova, California and Starr Vaughn Equestrian in Elk Grove, California. This clinic is being offered to all Federation licensed Connemara and Welsh judges and any applicants or potential applicants for these licenses. Attendance at the clinic fulfills the Federation’s clinic requirements as outlined in GR1040 of the current Federation rule book.
To provide attendees with the best possible educational experience, the USEF has established an attendance limit for this clinic. If you are an official who must attend a clinic in 2007 to maintain your license, your application will be given first consideration providing the application with fees are received prior to the closing date for the clinic. The remaining attendance applications will be considered for existing positions on a first-come, first-served basis after the closing date. A completed application form must be mailed well in advance of the September 28, 2007 closing date in order to guarantee a place at the clinic.
