Judging the Pleasure Walking Horse

Gaits ] IJA Divisions ]

[See complete IJA rulebook here]

The UPWHA utilizes the rule book definitions and classifications from the International Judges Association for their classes and shows.  IJA is a division of Friends of Sound Horses, and is dedicated, as we are, in promoting and preserving the "true", authentic gaits of the Pleasure Walking Horse.

To assist perspective judges, exhibitors as well as spectators in understanding the standards by which our horses are to be trained and exhibited we've included excerpts from the International Judges Association (IJA) rulebook on the following pages on "Gaits of the Pleasure Walking Horse" and "IJA Divisions of Exhibition for the Pleasure Walking Horse".

We encourage you to contact us with any questions you may have: Anita Howe (ajh@howetheywalk.com) .  You are also invited to submit questions directly to the International Judges Association.  Their Director of Judges is Ms. Dianne Little, Alberta Canada and you may contact her via email at: IJA@friendsofsoundhorses.org  Friends of Sound Horses may be contacted through www.friendsofsoundhorses.org or www.fosh.info

Thank You,

UPWHA
