States Downing-Nygard “As a USDF "R" judge and instructor/trainer I have seen what happens in the horse business. I have watched professionals who have a hard time figuring out where they fit in the equine world.  I know that there are many topics I can add my knowledge and have teamed up with Randi Thompson to create the Jumping Instructor Programs.  It is a venue where we will be able to all learn from each other, join us.

Are you coaching riders who are competing over fences?  Now you can ask the judges what they are really seeing and what you need to know to win more blue ribbons.
