Main Ring Judge 

Michael Van Handel


Meet Michael Van Handel, the judge for our 2025 show! Hailing from the picturesque state of Wisconsin, Michael brings over two decades of experience in owning and breeding Arabians and Half Arabians, including several National Champions. As an active amateur competitor and showman, he knows the ins and outs of the show ring.
​
Michael's academic background is just as impressive, with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science and a Master's degree in Business Administration. By day, he works in Marketing for Purina Animal Nutrition, a subsidiary of Land O'Lakes, Inc., where he combines his passion for animals with his professional expertise.
With his extensive knowledge and hands-on experience, Michael Van Handel is sure to bring a unique and insightful perspective to the judging panel at Aurora 2025!

Aurora is happy to have Michael be our judge for the 2025 60th Anniversary Summer Horse Show! Thank you Michael!
