Ride Review with “L” Judge Kathryn Hitzig

  • Contry Hill Farm 271 Reed Road Mason, NH, 03048 United States (map)

All entries must be received by April 14th.

Riders will ride their test of choice with the judge; there will be a scribe to make notes and it will be scored. The judge will then spend the next 15-20 minutes working with you on areas that could be improved (this is the review part). Riders have the choice of riding the review or the test first. You may ride more than one test and bring more than one horse. The same horse may also have more than one rider. There are two large size outdoor sand arenas designated for warm-up, and an arena for lungeing.
