Our first IHSA Junior Judging Day was a ton of fun! We discussed Saddlebred conformation and judged a halter class, did a show grooming contest, watched a video of an American Royal class with judging points to watch out for, and made posters about the different show divisions. We look forward to the first Iowa Junior Judging competition at Des Moines Springfest! Thanks to all the junior equestrians who came out today! Thank you to IHSA Board members Erica Jones, Deanne Mundt, Lindsey Calvert, and Morgan Dezenski-Miller for organizing this event!
