Judges´ Instructors Group (JIG) has developed an educational program for National and ECAHO National Judges, for those who are willing to participate at ECAHO Level I and Level II assessments. Coordinator of these seminars within JIG is Ms. Claudia Darius. The seminars contain both theoretical and practical part and are finished by a short test. The goal of these seminars is to provide extra education and practical experience, under supervision of ECAHO Instructors. The students can check their own knowledge and define their strengths and weaknesses.

The contents of the seminars will (in general) be as follows:

• Theoretical & practical work in a stress free & personal atmosphere
• Improvement of knowledge (Type, Conformation, Legs, Movements) & Judging skills
• Preparation for Level I & II Assessments
• Analyzing & discussing Judging Systems & Procedures
• Training: how to assess horses and verbally explain decisions?
• Eventually personal requests of participants
• Direct feedback for all participants after the workshop

Any National organizations who are willing to organize such seminars are welcome to contact ECAHO Office, where the National Organization will be connected with JIG, to get more specific information about the conditions and needed preparations.
