Canadian Reining Committee Announces First Four Equine Canada Reining Officials


Ottawa, ON—Following the Reining Judges’ Clinic on January 27-28 at the Equine Canada Convention, Cana- dian Reining Committee (CRC) pleased to announce four new reining judges in Canada.


The clinic was the first one offered by Equine Canada to accredit judges for sanctioned reining compe- titions. The course educated future judges in the scoring system for reining as adopted by Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI). The curriculum and testing proto- cols were developed in conjunction with The Reining Horse Association of Germany and were presented by Gary Yaghdjian and Bernie Hoeltzel.

The first reining recorded judges are Sherri Whit- worth of Rockwood, ON; Lorraine Gilchrist of Asquith, SK; and Lynda Smith of Pitt Meadows, BC. Beth Hora of Moose Jaw, SK was granted senior status as she is also a National Reining Horse Association judge. “It was integral to keep the level very high in accordance with the industry standard. Reining has the most intricate and transparent judging system with all score sheets posted for exhibitors to review at the con- clusion of each class,” said Yaghdjian, who is also the chair of the CRC. “We are very pleased that the follow- ing candidates were successful in attaining the prerequi- site 80 per cent passing grade. Congratulations to our new judges.”


The next clinic for individuals interested in becom- ing recorded reining judges will be held March 30–31, 2011 in Olds College, Olds, AB. Clinic details may be found on the officials section of the CRC website at
