Have you ever wondered what the judge was thinking?
We are authors Julie Winkel and Tricia Booker, and we wrote Judging Hunters and Equitation for riders, trainers, parents, and other judges.
Our goal was to help demystify the subjective process of judging hunters and equitation and to unveil what the judges are looking for in the show ring. We are proud to release our second edition of this popular book in August 2023.
