| | Field hunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The judging of the show hunter is based on the requirements of a horse in the hunt field, focusing on the horse's manners, movement, jumping form, rhythm, and smoothness around the course. |
 | | Although the fences in a show hunter course are usually "natural" poles and standards, as opposed to the brightly colored fences seen in show jumping, the show hunter course does not include rock walls, ditches, or banks that might be seen in the hunt field. |
 | | In some ways, the field hunter is more similar to a good cross-country horse seen in eventing than a show hunter, as it must gallop and jump over varied terrain, jump ditches, coops, up and down banks, and occasionally go through water. |
