Horse Judging Team
The Texas A&M Horse Judging Team ended their season Reserve World Champions at the AQHA World Show Judging Contest in Oklahoma City. This group has been a joy to work with. They have been disciplined, hard working, and grown throughout the year. We have gotten to enjoy many laughs down the road and there is no question they will be missed. However, we are most excited to celebrate that every member of our 2022 All-Star Team made the top ten in a given category at this year’s world show. Furthermore, they have set an excellent example of what it means to be a “team” for next year’s group. We are excited to see them mentor next year’s 2023 All-Star Team.
