Breed Resources:
Contact the breed associations below to get information on
breed standards, etc. for your judging team members. If you
tell these folks that you’re getting the material for
judging teams, they are generally more than happy to help
you. Some associations have videos on Judging Standards for
their particular breed (I know for sure that the Morgan and
Saddlebred folks do). Most videos you will have to pay for,
but you might be able to get a deal! For more breed assoications,
please visit the Breeds page. At
the state level, halter breeds may include but are not limited
to the following light breeds. Draft horses may also be used.
