THUNDERHORSE FARM
For your consideration, please find below my credentials as a Certified Open Horse Show Judge, carded POA judge (additional breed cards currently being pursued,) and Virginia Horse Shows Association-Associate Judge.
As a professional in the horse business, I own and operate my own horse business which includes: standing a stallion (earned a 2007 World Champion title,) lessons, training, boarding, onsite horse shows, clinics, and a show team. I specialize in ‘all around’ horses and students that compete in halter, showmanship, hunter, western, over fences and equitation. I have been in the horse business for 20 years and have participated in all aspects of horse shows, including hosting my own show circuit, and my former 2-year term as President of a local show organization that consisted of over 200 members. Additionally, I am an ex-4H leader of 8 years; establishing 2 clubs within two counties and included 27 active members.
As a coach, I have taught students who have won numerous State titles on the 4H level, earned numerous Registers of Merit, Superior Awards, Year-End Awards, High Point Show Awards, Regional Awards, Top 5 National titles, Top 10 National titles, and World Champion titles.
As a judge, I have a reputation of being extremely fair, professional, and work very well with youth. My certification includes western, hunter, saddleseat, and non-trotting horses. I have judged shows that range from small 4-H shows to large open 3-day shows with 1900 entries, and nearly 100 entries in a class. Additionally, I have a true appreciation of all breeds and understand their individual form and way of going.
I have judged shows throughout the east coast including Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. My fees are competitive and negotiable based on your budget.
My ongoing reference list can be provided at your request and I look forward to assisting you in the 2010 season!
Warmest Regards,
Wendy Snyder
