The next International Equine Judges Seminar and Applicant Testing Session will be held in January 2026.

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.
