Preview: What Are Judges Looking For?

Find out what judges are looking for! NCHA Director of Judges Russell McCord critiques seven Amateur runs from a judge’s perspective and explains how they got their score. He helps you identify what they are looking for such as:

  • Herd work
  • Eye appeal
  • Working time
  • Working in middle third of arena
  • Length of reins
Categories: Judging.
Part 1
Russell comments on the first four runs and explains why they scored a 70, 69, 67 and 65. There are runs here where some horses are not holding their stops, pushing on a cow and hot quits. Russell explains how this can effect your score.
Part 2
This video has the remaining three Amateur runs, scoring a 72, 72.5 and 73. Russell talks about credit earning cuts, quitting a cow in the centre of the pen and horses waiting on the cow.
