A Friesian Judges’ Clinic is tentatively being planned for October 29, 2009, at the International Friesian Show Horse Association Nationals (IFSHA) World Grand National Championship Horse Show in Lake St. Louis, MO. The clinic will be held only if a minimum number for paid applications are received in the USEF office by August 1. This clinic is open to all licensed judges or anyone interested in obtaining a Friesian judges’ license. Those interested in attending should send in their registration application as soon as possible so that the minimum number will be obtained prior to the deadline. If the minimum registrations are not received by August 1, you will receive a full refund of registration fees.

As a reminder, judges who are already licensed in the Andalusian, Arabian, Hackney, Morgan, National Show Horse, Saddlebred, or Welsh divisions may apply for a Friesian license after attending the clinic. No learner judging will be required if you currently hold one of those licenses.

Clinic information and an application can be found at www.usef.org under "Licensed Officials/Continuing Education/2009 Calendar," or contact Chuck Walker at [email protected] or (859) 225-6970.
