Equine Industry Short Course - Linear Scoring
21 October 2011 Afternoon and evening sessions on the linear scoring system for Sport Horses and Irish Draughts are being organised as part of the CAFRE Equine Industry training short course programme. The afternoon session will take place at Necarne, Irvinestown, BT94 2GG on Tuesday 8 November 2011 from 1.30pm to 4.00pm. The evening session will take place at Moy Riding School, 131 Derrycaw Road, Moy, Tyrone, BT71 6NA on Tuesday 8 November 2011 from 7.00 pm to 9.30pm. The course will be delivered by Mr Philip Scott from Ballina, Co Mayo. Philip is well known and respected in Sport Horse circles having evented at three star level and having been a very successful producer of show horses including horses which have won championships at the Royal Dublin Society Show (RDS). He is on the Horse Sport Ireland panel of inspectors for Sport Horses and Stallions and is also involved as a judge and inspector of Connemara ponies. Philip has judged at many high profile shows in England including at the Royal International Horse Show and he has also fulfilled judging commitments in France and Canada. Philip trained the Irish team which participated in the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) Young Breeders World Championship hosted by Teagasc and Horse Sport Ireland at Kildalton College, Piltown, Co. Kilkenny in July 2011. During what should prove to be a very interesting short course Philip will outline the system used for linear scoring Sport Horses and Irish Draught Horses. He will linear score a Sport Horse and an Irish Draught horse and discuss with participants his rationale for allocating his scores. Participants will have the opportunity to score a horse and will then be able to compare the marks which they awarded to those allocated by Philip. Philip will also provide an insight into the loose jumping scoring system. This event is being run by CAFRE’s BSc 2 Equine Management students as part of their Event Management module.
