December 16, 2004 NDSU to Hold Horse Judging Workshop North Dakota State University’s Equine Science Program will host a horse judging weekend workshop Jan. 22-23, 2005, at Sheppard Arena on campus. Jon Wolf, horse judging coach at Black Hawk College, Kewanee, Ill., will be the instructor. The workshop is for anyone interested in judging horses. “We strongly encourage collegiate, 4-H and FFA horse judging contestants, leaders and coaches, as well as people who enjoy judging 4-H and open shows,” says Bobbi Bingeman, NDSU equestrian team coach. “If you are not currently involved in these activities, but you are interested, we encourage you to come to this workshop and get started with the best.” Wolf has coached several successful youth and collegiate horse judging teams, including 10 American Quarter Horse Association world champions. He judged the 2004 North Dakota State Fair 4-H Horse Show and provided his expertise at the 4-H State Horse Judging Contest. He has judged internationally and presented judging seminars in many states. He has bachelor of science and master’s degrees in animal science from the University of Illinois. He was farm/horse manager at the university for more than two years before he developed the horse science curriculum at Black Hawk College in 1974. Since then he has taught a number of equine courses. Now he focuses on issues such as equine reproduction and nutrition. The workshop starts at 7:30 a.m. both days with check-in and late registration. Sessions begin at 8:45 a.m. and wrap up at 4:15 p.m. The deadline to register for the workshop is Jan. 7.
