Judge's Program

Do you have some experience as a judge and now want to apply to be an IBHA carded judge?

You must apply to IBHA first by December 31st, then be invited to the Seminar.

The next International Equine Judges Seminar and Applicant Testing Session will be held in January 2024.

All IBHA Judges Applicants must attend the Equine Seminar to complete the applicant process and acquire IBHA certification. All IBHA Approved Judges must attend the seminar once every three years to maintain their judge's status. The exception to this requirement is an AQHA approved judge that is not required to attend the seminar for any other breed and submits in writing to the IBHA office the date of AQHA seminar attended within the previous two years.

THE SEMINAR DEADLINE DATES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO JANUARY 3, 2024. LATE REGISTRATION FEES WILL APPLY AFTER JANUARY 3RD!

The table below can be sorted by of the columns - by state will probably be the most helpful.

There is also a search function, which can come in handy if you are searching for judges with NSBA cards, for example. All CBC association cards held are listed on the far-right column.
