One of the highlights of the Massachusetts Horsemen's Council Days of Champions horse show is the educational forum, which offers exhibitors and trainers the chance to learn directly from judges and course designers before competing. This year’s panel featured Patrick Rodes, who served as both a judge and course designer, along with judge Amy Eidson and announcer John Bahret. They addressed participant questions on topics such as judging criteria, how excellence is rewarded and errors are penalized, and appropriate show ring attire. USHJA Zone 1 sponsored the forum, emphasizing its dedication to education and excellence in the sport.
