This is a very important book. Thank you Julie and Tricia for helping all of us to better understand our subjective judging system. I'm so happy that both Julie and Tricia took the initiative to write down this valuable information and make it available to all of you.

Attention lovers of the show hunter! All you ever wanted to know from the history of the sport to reflections on the future. Judging Hunters and Equitation gives you first-hand, behind-the-scenes insights into major shows and competitions. This book is a must for the bookshelf of the serious rider, trainer, and official.

I love using Judging Hunters and Equitation as a tool with our College of Charleston Equestrian Collegiate Team. We discuss the equitation tests and the current judge's do's and dont's that are suggested in the book. It's a wonderful resource that every coach and parent should have on hand to reference!
