ANRC National Judge - Jill Randles

The ANRC was established in 1936 to initiate a standardized method to educate riders in hunt seat equitation & to create a "Rider Certification" system to assess riding ability and knowledge of riding theory. This educational system is based on the teachings of Captain Vladimir Littauer & has influenced many professional riders & trainers including Jane Dillon, George Morris, Joe Fargis, Lendon Gray, Pam Baker and Bernie Traurig. An Equitrial is an equitation based competition consisting of 2 or 3 phases: a Program Ride, an Equitation course of jumps in the ring & a jumping course in a open field. It is judged on Hunt Seat Equitation and hunter performance, emphasizing a cooperative effort between horse and rider. Rides will be evaluated on position, control and performance based on criteria for each level. Additionally, riders will have the opportunity to speak with the judge about thier performance. For more information see: www.anrc.org

DIVISIONS:

Level A	2 Phase - Will consist of Walk, Trot, Canter Program Ride. Jumps not to exceed 2'. This is NOT part of the ANRC Rating System.

Membership in the ANRC is NOT required, however, riders in Level 1,2 and 3 who attain a score of 70% or higher in each phase MAY elect to have the results registered with the American National Riding Commission, Inc.
