Horse-show

The modern show ring hunter’s roots were established in Europe when gentry rode across the countryside hunting
for game, often aided by dogs used to track the prey. The horses were necessary to carry their riders many miles
over the varied terrain of the countryside in pursuit of their game, often negotiating the creeks, ditches, walls, and
fences they encountered along the way.
Subjectively judged, the modern show ring hunter must still exhibit the traits desired of a good field hunter— calm
disposition, good manners, smooth gaits, steady way of going, and pleasant and efficient jumping ability— but
must do so with style, presence and superior technique. Conformation, athleticism, disposition, and jumping form
all combine to define a winning show ring hunter.
A Hunter Derby is special show class that typically runs as two-rounds. Both rounds typically include natural fences
reminiscent of the hunt field, such as stone walls, logs, brush jumps, white board fences, post-and-rail jumps,
gates, coops, banks and ditches.
The top-scoring competitors in the first round come back to ride the second round, which includes additional tasks
(e.g. a trot fence) to show off the horse’s ride-ability. Riders earn extra points for demonstrating handiness. In both
rounds, they can select jumps with higher height options to earn additional bonus points. The combination of
scores from the two rounds determines the winner.
