In the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, competition over fences is called "Working Hunter," and the term "Show Hunter" describes classes held on the flat.

Its frame is more "stretched out" than horses competing in dressage, eventing, or show jumping, but the horse should not be on its forehand. The riders of show hunters often ride on a slightly looser rein than seen elsewhere to facilitate this type of movement, and the horse carries its head just in front of the vertical. The show hunter should be mannerly and have the appearance of being a pleasure to ride.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Although the horse is in a long and low frame, it should still be able to collect its stride when asked.

The horse is to be bathed before the competition, with special attention paid to <a href="/wiki/Horse_markings" title="Horse markings">white markings</a>. Depending on the level of show, show hunters may need to have their manes and forelocks <a href="/wiki/Mane_(horse)#Braiding_(USA)_or_plaiting_(UK)" title="Mane (horse)">braided or plaited</a>. Horses are to be braided on the right side of the neck for hunters, using yarn or thread that matches the color of the mane. Braids are to be small, neat, and tight. Lower level shows do not require braiding, however higher rated shows frown upon unbraided horses and might penalize for informality. Hunters sometimes are exhibited with a <a href="/wiki/Tail_(horse)#Braiding" title="Tail (horse)">braided tail</a> as well. The horses' hooves are usually polished before they enter the show ring. </p><p>The show hunter's hair is often clipped prior to a show. In the US, this includes the whiskers around the muzzle, the hair in and around the ears, the <a href="/wiki/Bridle_path_(horse)" title="Bridle path (horse)">bridle path</a>, and lower jaw. The legs are also trimmed, removing all <a href="/wiki/Fetlock" title="Fetlock">fetlock</a> hair and <a href="/wiki/Feathering_(horse)" title="Feathering (horse)">feathering</a>, and trimming the <a href="/wiki/Pastern" title="Pastern">pasterns</a> and coronet. In the winter, show hunters are often given a full clip, removing all the body hair, to give them a neater appearance in the show ring. </p><p>Tails are not pulled at the <a href="/wiki/Rump_(animal)" title="Rump (animal)">dock</a>, so that it may be braided, and the bottom of the tail is left natural in US competition, not trimmed. In the UK it is common to cut the bottom of the tail straight across. The tail is braided from the top down to the end of the tail bone, with the rest of the tail left loose. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_course">The course</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Show_hunter&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: The course"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The course of fences a show hunter must jump is usually made up of 8-12 obstacles and must be set at the required height for each division.<sup id="cite_ref-USEFRuleBook_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-USEFRuleBook-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/w/index.php?title=Show_jumping_obstacles&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Show jumping obstacles (page does not exist)">Obstacles</a> must simulate those found in the hunting field such as natural post and rail, brush, stone wall, white board fence or gate, chicken coop, aiken, hedge, oxer, and so on.<sup id="cite_ref-USEFRuleBook_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-USEFRuleBook-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The fences in hunters are not brightly colored as in <a href="/wiki/Show_jumping" title="Show jumping">show jumping</a>, instead they are natural rails or painted natural colors such as brown, green, white, and beige. Open water jumps and liverpools, common obstacles in show jumping arena, are not used in a show hunter course. Although combination fences may be seen, they are usually only two elements, and have easier distances between them than those found in show jumping. Banks and ditches are not found on the show hunter course, nor are any major changes in terrain, and often the horses jump on level footing in an enclosed arena. </p><p>The distance between fences is usually a set number of strides, with each stride 12 feet in length. Unlike a show jumper, the show hunter does not need to go to extreme lengths to collect or extend its stride to meet the distances correctly. The horse must put a certain amount of strides between each set of fences if they are in a line. If the horse and rider don't do this, points will be taken off the overall score. </p><p>The show hunter should maintain a good pace throughout the course of fences, but keep an even rhythm, neither speeding up nor slowing down. The horse is judged on its smoothness around the course, its movement, jumping form, and whether it reaches each "spot", or the distance of takeoff in front of a jump, correctly. A poor spot would put the horse too close or too far back from the jump, so that it would either have to stretch and make a great effort over the fence, or have to jump more "up and down" rather than over the fence. A poor spot interrupts the rhythm of a course, and increases the likelihood that a horse will rub or drop a rail. </p><p>A good ride over fences will look easy, with the horse jumping from the correct takeoff spot, easily fitting the strides in between the jumps (as opposed to having to really stretch out or collect its stride), and cleanly making the <a href="/wiki/Flying_change" class="mw-redirect" title="Flying change">flying changes</a> required. <a href="/wiki/Refusal_(horse)" class="mw-redirect" title="Refusal (horse)">Refusals</a>, knocked rails, or rubs over fences incur a severe drop (faults) in the rider's score. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Competition">Competition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Show_hunter&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Competition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A typical class consists of jumping over natural fences mimicking those seen on a hunt field, usually ridden at a controlled <a href="/wiki/Canter_and_gallop" title="Canter and gallop">hand gallop</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some classes include a conformation section where the saddle is removed and the horse is asked to walk and trot in front of the judge to evaluate conformation and soundness.

The show hunter typically takes the fences at a far slower pace than the field hunter, and in far more controlled conditions. Hunters showing at indoor shows compete on flat, even surfaces over specified "natural type" fences such as coops, post and rails, hanging gates, brush, roll-backs, faux stone and brick walls, and natural-colored rails. Hunters competing at outdoor shows may or may not compete on even surfaces, however even when competing on an outdoor grass course with a couple of rolling surfaces, they still don't have to worry about navigating holes, rocks trees, lumpy cornfields, macadam road surfaces, and the like, which means that their hardiness is not generally tested at the show.<sup id="cite_ref-breedlibrary_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-breedlibrary-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The field hunter's primary requirements have more to do with ability than with looks; therefore he may be any type of horse or pony which can get the job done, safely and competently for his rider.<sup id="cite_ref-breedlibrary_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-breedlibrary-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They must be able to keep up with the field, negotiate any type of terrain or footing competently, and be agile and competent white doing it.

He should be steady, tough and robust, and able to withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps, bruises, minor injuries, and sometimes falls which happen in the hunt field. Field hunters must have the ability of "staying sane" at all times in the high excitement in a crush of galloping horses, and he should have brakes whenever he is called on, to stop quickly. It also helps if he happens to be good-natured, and enjoys his job. He needs a good sound foot, strong legs, and an amenable brain. Riding safely at speed, the ability to stay under control, and attitude all play a vital role for the field hunter. The type of fences he could encounter in the field run from low stone walls to brush, to coops in fence lines to rail fences, logs, railroad timber obstacles, and other "natural boundaries" found in hunting territories.

These are group classes where all the competitors entered are judged in the ring at the same time. Required <a href="/wiki/Horse_gait" title="Horse gait">gaits</a> are the walk, trot, and canter. Some classes will also occasionally ask for a counter canter or a hand gallop. At the end of the class the competitors line up in the middle of the ring and awards are given.</li> <li>Hunter – Sometimes called "hunter over fences" or "working hunter" classes. Horses in hunter classes are shown one at a time over a course of jumps. The horse and rider are generally expected to enter the ring at the trot and make a large circle for about a third or one half of the ring before cantering to the course of 8-12 obstacles. After the course has been completed, they are also expected to complete another circle of similar size at the trot before leaving the arena.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Equitation" title="Equitation">Equitation</a> – The rider is judged on riding ability and form, and though the performance of the horse is not specifically judged, it is nonetheless considered to reflect the rider's ability. Both flat and over fences classes are offered.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Leadline" title="Leadline">Leadline</a> – This division is for the least experienced of riders, where the rider is led by a person on the ground. It may include walk, trot, and very low fences (less than 12 inches). It is not commonly seen at USEF approved or "official" shows.</li> <li>"Handy" classes – A hunter class that combines elements of flat and over-fences classes, often with elements reminiscent of field hunting. For example; in addition to jumping a course, the rider may be asked to open and close a gate or to dismount and lead the horse over a small fence.</li> <li>Conformation Hunter — a hunter class where the horse is also unsaddled and evaluated for conformation as well as general soundness.</li> <li>Model, or <a href="/wiki/In-hand" class="mw-redirect" title="In-hand">in-hand</a> classes – The horse is judged on <a href="/wiki/Equine_conformation" title="Equine conformation">conformation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Horse_gait" title="Horse gait">movement</a> suitable for that of a hunter.
