Our Judges’ List is intended to assist Show Secretaries in making an informed decision in their choice of Judge(s). The “KEY” and “OTHER PANEL ABBREVIATIONS” as shown below are included within the Judges’ List; allowing for easy selection of a Judge(s) who are able to preside over other sections at your show, as well as the TGCA classes.

Judges have been divided into areas and within each area is the level at which they have been approved to judge, starting with International level, then County / Championship level, Riding Club level, Juniors and finally Probationers.

Judges may be invited to judge at a lower level than stated, but may NOT be invited to judge above their stated level (e.g. International Judges may be asked to judge at any show; however a level 2) Judge may not judge above Riding Club level).

TGCA levels/categories are written in bold typeface. The KEY to TGCA judging Categories are as follows:
