The World Conformation Horse Association (WCHA) Judging and Education Committee has spent the last few months developing the judges credentialing process and accepting applicants. The first round of testing and credentialing is complete and now the WCHA is leaving it up to its Members to complete the process.
The WCHA had 20 first round applicants who completed the written test, live judging, oral reasons and interviews. Starting now through September 15, Members have a chance to comment on the applicants and those comments will be taken into consideration when final selections are made.
Any WCHA Member who wishes to comment on any of the following applicants should do so by writing:
