Inside the Mind of the Judge - A Clinic with Ryan Roy & Pam Law

After the success of our inaugural Spring clinic with Darren Graziano in 2023, we’re back this year with an updated and unique format aimed at helping our local Hunter riders get inside the mind of a judge!

Led by 2 acclaimed and accomplished equestrians, this clinic is offered over 2 days, and provides the unique opportunity to be prepped for a show, ride 2 courses and a flat class that are professionally judged, and then receive a complete debrief from the judge on the placements that were awarded.

This is a rare opportunity to not only receive world class instruction, but to see yourself from the judges eyes to know exactly where and your mount can improve heading into the show season.

Day 1

In small groups, participants will have the opportunity to be prepped for the show by one of the top hunter riders and trainers in the country, and the youngest person to ever be awarded her judges card, Ryan Roy.

The session will be structured as lesson to prepare you for day 2’s competition. These sessions are 1.5 hours each.

Day 2

Participants will be coached be Ryan as they participate in a simulated horse show division where they will complete 2 courses and a flat class each, that will be judged by Pam Law, a senior EC hunter, jumper, and hunt seat judge with over 30 years of judging experience.

Once the placements are determined, Pam will share with participants and auditors all of the details of exactly what she looks for, and why she placed the riders where she did.

Seeing yourself through a judges eyes is a rare opportunity to better understand their perspective, and learn what you and your mount need to work on ahead of the upcoming show season.
