Hunter/Jumper
The show hunter is a type of show horse that is judged on its movement, manners, and way of going. The horses are shown in hunt seat riding, and are often of Warmblood or Thoroughbred type.
There are several types of "hunter", or hunt seat, classes.
Equitation: judge the rider's ability to communicate with the horse.
Flat Classes: judge the horse's movement and manners on the flat. Jumping is not included.
Over-fences classes: Judge the horse's movement, manners, way of going, and jumping form over a course of jumps.
"Handy" classes: a class which combines elements of flat and over-fences classes, often with elements that are reminiscent of field hunting. For example; the rider may be asked to dismount and lead the horse over a small fence after completing a course.
Pleasure classes: unlike the flat and over-fences classes, the horse's movement is not as important as its manners, temperament, and suitability for the rider.
Conformation or Model classes: the horse is judged on conformation and movement, which should be suitable for that of a hunter. Unlike the above classes, a model class has no mounted exercises, and the horse is presented for judging without a saddle.
