Open to any breed, the hunter division is judged on the desirable qualities that would make the horse a safe mount following the hounds across open fields and over fences. Hunters compete in the show ring over a course of eight to 10 fences, which are built to resemble obstacles one would encounter in the foxhunting field. These include brush boxes, gates, natural rails and brick walls, to name a few. Show ring jumps are normally three to four feet in height. Horses competing in the hunter divisions are judged on their jumping style, way of going and manners. Conformation and soundness are also taken into consideration in some classes.
