I’m very excited about this month’s special event, “Through the Judges Eyes”!!. Unlike the clinics you may have heard about where riders are invited to participate and have their rounds critiqued in front if an audience, our judges will provide feedback on your rounds in writing for you to take home!! Hopefully you’ll find this additional feedback enlightening!
OHJA Forum: Saturday, June 5th, at the conclusion of the show (5ish?). In an effort to better serve the membership several members from the OHJA board will be available to field your comments, suggestions and concerns directly to board members. These will be presented to the remaining board members at the next board meeting.
