Honor Roll of Judges

The AHC strives to listen to its members and provides value for money, fun horse events for all levels of competitors and disciplines. Our members have indicated that we should select a wide variety of judges with diverse backgrounds to officiate at our shows. As a result, we endeavor to have a mix of both international and domestic judges for our halter rings. We seek out judges that may also be recognised in related fields such as being recognised breeders, trainers or handlers. 

We also value and highly respect our recognised Australian accredited judges who may have qualifications from the AHSA, EA, Hack Societies or various Breed Associations. Our shows and events continue to receive acclaim and support because of the mix and balance of judges we ask to officiate at our events.

We are pleased to acknowledge and sincerely thank our previous judges for bringing their skills, expertise and love of the Arabian horse to the AHC shows.
