History of the Association
Vereniging Geskiedenis

The universal idea of the exhibitor at a horse show is to achieve perfection. The duty of the judge is to recognize that which is closest to this ideal of perfection, and moving freely within a framework of rules, to place them in order of excellence.

Judging is a process of discrimination, of drawing a distinction between two contenders and the degree of competition will always modify the degree of discrimination.

The Riding Horse Judges Association flowed from the Riding Horse Breeder's Society of South Africa and Rhodesia which was founded in 1942.

Courses and examinations for judges were held as early as 1946 under the auspices of the
Breeder's Organization.

The missionof the association is to uplift and promote the quality of horse shows by decisions where knowledge and integrity are the yardstick of service and the motto "Justice To The Horse" is always kept in mind.
