USIHC Judging Seminar at Lettleiki Icelandics

USIHC Judging Seminar with FEIF International Sport Judge Þorgeir Guðlaugsson
Lettleiki Icelandics, Shelbyville, KY
April 10-13, 2025

This seminar is an excellent opportunity for anybody interested in learning more about judging and competition riding, the gaits of the Icelandic horse, and the basics of biomechanics. Participants will dive deep into the guidelines that judges use to assess riding skills, connection, beat, balance, suppleness, relaxation, movement, outline, and execution of a performance. Þorgeir will discuss the psychological aspects, as well as the ethics of judging. A big part of the seminar is video judging, to develop a feel for the scores, as well as hands-on learning about equipment checks, mouth checks, and more. On Saturday, the Léttleiki team will host a schooling show so seminar participants can gain life judging experience.

For those who feel confident about their skills, exams for becoming a USIHC National Sport Judge level C or B will conclude the seminar. The exams include theory questions, as well as video judging. 

Prerequisite: previous USIHC judging seminars, "Intro to Icelandic Horse Sport" webinar, or other suitable judging seminars
