Tracy Montgomery	Auburn, AL	Phone:  334-401-0234 Email:  Traceem@me.com	My name is Tracy Montgomery, I am an equestrian judge, coach and horse trainer from Southern California who recently relocated to Auburn, Alabama. I was born and raise in Southern California and have been in the equestrian business and show pen for more than 30 years and judged hundreds of horse shows. I would love to be considered to judge any of your upcoming open horse shows. I have owned and operated Montgomery Show Horses in California where I trained Paint and Quarter Horses for the All-Around events (Halter, Showmanship, Hunter Under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation, Western Pleasure, Western Equitation/Horsemanship, Trail, and Western Riding). I led my students and their horses to multiple World Titles, Top Five and Top Ten honors in the AQHA, APHA, PtHA, and PBHA World Shows in Showmanship, Western Pleasure, Western Horsemanship, Western Riding, Trail, Hunter Under Saddle and Hunt Seat Equitation. I have been praised by many of the associations and exhibitors as to my fair, unbiased and friendly approach to judging. I strongly believe that politics should not play any part in open horse shows. Open horse shows are that, “Open to any breed” so no matter what breed is presented before me I believe that best horse and rider team should take the blue ribbon.
