Sherry Conrads is a voracious learner. From pedigree books to mentors like Sheila Varian and Janina Merz, Sherry knew early on how important it was β especially as a breeder β to be thoughtful and educated.
Over the last year, Sherry has delighted in studying with renowned judge and consultant, Cindy Reich, via a weekly Zoom class called the "Conformation Club."
"I really thought I knew it all β I had read every book on the shelf, paid attention to my mentors, and am a sponge for all things related to breeding. Wow, was I wrong! Cindy has been invaluable in teaching me not only about conformation but also form to function. She talks about the biomechanics of the skeletal and muscular systems, and she really knows how to teach. Thanks to Cindy, I now look at horses with fresh eyes, more educated eyes, and I have gained confidence in my own ability to evaluate my horses and potential sires as well."
