ROBERT WALKER MULTIPLE<br />
HUNTER HOYS CHAMPION. “I would<br />
look for limb, good bone and depth firstly.<br />
But then its got to have quality and<br />
charisma with a rhythmical step to match”.<br />
Large Riding Horse<br />
RDING HORSE:<br />
LIGHTWEIGHT HUNTER<br />
SHOW/FORMAT<br />
No individual show<br />
required. The ride judge<br />
will ride the horse for a<br />
short while and will expect<br />
the horse to be light in the<br />
hand. To go forward off the<br />
leg and be able to gallop<br />
and come back to the riders<br />
aids quickly. Must have<br />
manners as you see in the<br />
hunting field for example<br />
standing still for opening<br />
and shutting gates.<br />
HEAVYWEIGHT HUNTER<br />
Small: Exc148cm not exc 158cm<br />
Large: exc 158cm<br />
Riding horses are a later<br />
invention by showing for<br />
horses that are neither a hack<br />
nor a hunter. Their manners<br />
must be good but need not be<br />
as perfect as the hack.<br />
TYPE:<br />
Thoroughbred type, good<br />
quality flat bone. deeper<br />
bodied than a hack but not as<br />
substantial as a hunter.<br />
MR DANIEL J PARK,<br />
WELL KNOWN JUDGE<br />
“A riding horse is between a<br />
show hack and a hunter and<br />
although should be more<br />
‘workmanlike’ than a show<br />
hack it should still be of<br />
quality. It would have more<br />
substance than a show hack<br />
and will be more purposeful<br />
in its way of going. A riding<br />
horse MUST be able to<br />
gallop.”<br />
