How Much do Judges Earn per Horseshow?

Question

Just out of curiosity, how much does an R Judge make per horseshow, let's say an A or B-rated, weekend long hunter/jumper show (Friday, Saturday and Sunday.) in the US? Thanks!

Answer 1

usually anywhere between $250 to $3500. I do not know how much judges get at say Quarter Horse Congress or Quarter Horse WOrld (or vice versa for paint, arab or appy, ect)

Answer 2

It depends on the show and it depends on the judge...

Answer 3

Well, i don't really know what an R judge is, but a few hundred. I hired a judge for 250 for a one day open show, but he opted to to it for free for our shcolarship fund.    Anywhere from 300-600. depending on the circuit, if it is one. Like i said , i don't do hunter/jumper. sorry.

Answer 4

it depends on their rating. if it is a small r or a big r?

Answer 5

my uncle use to be a judge and got about 700 a show.

Answer 6

You have a really good question, and the answer (I think) will depend a great deal on location.  In our area a three day show pays from $750 to $1500 depending on the judges experience.  All expenses are paid for the judge including air fare, meals, transportation etc.
