Hunters

Hunters is different from jumpers in that it's all about style and form.  If you notice how in all these photos the horse's manes are braided and they're exceptionally clean and the rider is well turned out.  Hunters are not against the clock as jumpers are.  You are judged on your horse's movement, style, pace, attitude, manners, turnout, and form over fences.  The rider is judged on his turnout and form as well.  The jumps are much lower in height from jumpers.  Hunter heights start at about 2'6" and go up to 3'9".
