Kansas State University Horse Judging Team

05/04/2025

It was a fantastic morning managing and officiating the 2025 Kansas FFA Association’s State Horse Evaluation contest.

We couldn’t have done this contest without the help of the Kansas Quarter Horse Association, the Kansas Amateur Quarter Horse Association, and the Kansas Quarter Horse Youth Assoc. Thank you to the KQHA, KQHYA, and KAQHA members who volunteered to ride, provided horses, and willingly jumped in to help whenever it was needed!

We invite any youth interested in additional judging opportunities to reach out to Kansas Quarter Horse Youth Assoc. advisor Bobbie Hinds at [email protected] for more information.

Additionally, JudgingPro.com was at the contest and the contest videos will be available soon!
