SATURDAY JUDGE: PATTY BANWART
"My life has always revolved around horses. My earliest exposure was through the 4H program. Over the years I have trained, shown, and instructed in many disciplines; dressage, saddle seat, hunt seat, western, ranch, all forms of equitation, horsemanship, and showmanship. Over the years I have been very fortunate to have received many regional, national and world titles.
I am a true fan of all things equine. I take this knowledge and love into the pen every time I judge. I do my best to look for the good and positive in every horse and rider combination and relationship.
Thank you all for taking the time and effort to present your horses when you enter a pen that I am honored to judge in."
SUNDAY JUDGE: RICK FANELLA
"Hi! My name is Rick Fanella and I have been judging for 13 years. My family and I showed Appaloosas on the national level for approx 30 years. About 10 years ago, my interest switched to paint horses. I own and operate Rocking Horse Farm in Pleasant Prairie, WI.
This year I had the honor of being named the 2023 Wisconsin Horse Council Judge of the Year.
In addition to judging horse shows, I also enjoy showing!
Good luck to all, but most importantly - HAVE FUN!!!!"
