SAHJA Clinic with Nick Karazissi ~ January 13-16 2022
Nick Karazissis is one of the most successful trainers on the West Coast; with his brother Kost, his sister-in-law Jenny and his daughter Cassandra, Far West Farms has been owned and operated in Calabasas, California for over 40 years.
The Far West Farms team is responsible for many “A” Pacific Coast Horse Show Association (PCHA) year-end championships, and is always consistent in its yearly wins and multiple placing in Medal Finals.
Nick’s success in the show ring throughout the last 40 years has made him one of the most sought after judges and clinicians in the United States. His personal focus and passion in governance is currently, and has historically been, focused in the area of education and the discipline of the equitation division.
Nick was actively involved in the creation and coordination of an educational DVD for PCHA and USHJA called “Get Connected.” The DVD has served to help standardize judging by covering the main principles of Hunter Seat Equitation flatwork and demonstrating the proper way to perform the USEF Hunter Seat Equitation Tests 1 – 19.
Nick was honored to receive from USHJA the 2008 President’s Distinguished Service Award for his work and contribution to the continuing education of the sport.
