Lisa Blackstone
ALPHARETTA, GA
My occupation is: Attorney. I got started in the horse industry: When my mother introduced Arabian horses to me as a child. I have been showing them ever since. My home horse activities include: Having two horses in training with a professional, one Purebred Country gelding and one HalfArabian English mare. I most enjoy judging when: I have a big group of excellent horses to evaluate. My worst experience judging was: Early on in my career (before I got my card) judging a big class of Pintos in an open show. When I reversed them they looked completely different! I hadn't thought that through and had to scramble to find my winners.

My worst experience judging was: While I was learner judging and waiting for the first class of the day to enter the arena. The bird sitting in the rafters must have had a large breakfast that morning. Boy, did my mentor judge sure get a kick out of that...
