Equine Trail Sports Judging Clinics are popping up throughout the USA as ETS expands into new regions. “The event Judge is hugely impactful to any Equine Trail Sports event” states Miranda Lyon, Director of Judging and Standards. “Training judges in new locations is a top ETS priority”. Miranda, who has earned an outstanding national reputation as a trainer, colt-starting competitor, and clinician, heads the ETS initiative to bring consistency, fairness and education to each rider’s competitive trail experience. Miranda adds, “The newly developed ‘Decision Tree’ was developed by ETS to help judges score to a common standard, and to help riders interpret their scores and better measure their progress.”
