ASA Judges / Instructors / Clinicians (JIC)
Find an Instructor Near You!
American Sidesaddle Association Instructors or JIC (judge / instructor / clinician) must be proficient riding aside at walk, sitting trot, rising trot, canter, and jumping. Instructors will also take a written exam, teach a small group of 3 to 4 riders, an individual lesson, demonstrate proficiency in saddle fitting, and give a 5-minute lecture on any sidesaddle related topic.
