BSPS YOUNG JUDGES
​
Area 15 have had much success in the Young Judges competition run by the BSPS. This is a fabulous opportunity and all offered as part of your annual membership. Members are 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.
​
​Each Team (we can have a maximum of 2) consists of 3 members, who must have attained their 12th birthday but not their 21st birthday before 1st January in the current year. For the Individual Competition, candidates must have attained their 18th but not their 24th birthday before the 1st January in the current year.
​
The Competition is held at the BSPS Summer Championship Show and held on the first day and is judged as a Ridden Showing Class using the Marks System. Candidates are required to answer questions on the placing of the ponies, way of going,conformation as well as have a thorough understanding of the current year Rule Book whilst judging.​
​
Rosettes are awarded to all competitors and the Winning Team and Individuals receive individual medals and a Trophy.
