BSPS YOUNG JUDGES
​
Area 15 have had much success in the Young Judges competition run by the BSPS.
In order to ensure we are sufficiently prepared for next years competition, we are asking anyone who is eligible and interested in taking part for 2025, to contact Chris Yates on 07974967262.
​
Members will be offered training and support, where you will have the opportunity of participating in yard visits during which you will see a varied selection of ponies to learn about confirmation, type and way of going. This is an enjoyable and informative experience, and whilst no previous experience is required, you will need to commit to attending the yard visits as well as additional revision to ensure you know the BSPS rules. All information and support is provided and we are very fortunate to have an Area with many experienced producers, judges and committee members willing to share their knowledge and time with our Young Judges. Please do make the most of this wonderful opportunity which will also increase your own personal knowledge and is a great way of getting to know fellow members in your Area.
