Judges Assessment Scheme
We would like to invite all interested NPS Members and Non Members to apply for our Judges Panel.
We really need to recruit some new,younger judges, but it is essential that you show us that you have the commitment and background knowledge necessary.
Please read the updated outline of the Judges Assessment Scheme below and if you are interested please apply to the office for further details and/or complete the application form which can be found in the Resources section at the bottom of this page.
The details of the Scheme vary for people who are aiming to be Riding Pony / Hunter Pony judges and those who are aiming to be Mountain and Moorland pony judges. Please see the details in the documents RP/HP Scheme and M&M Scheme which are attached as Resources at the foot of this page.
We will require a detailed history of your experience with ponies and horses showing your commitment to the breeding and preservation of our ponies.
