This is there page to learn all about hunter/jumper and the 2 major Canadian show circuts, Trillium and 'A' circut. Feel free to send any comments, additions or questions you have.

1) Hunter is judged on the rider and horses form and how they work together

2) Jumper is a grueling discipline where you have to beat the other horses with speed, tight turns, and clearing high jumps

3) Both need lots of flat work so you should always include dressage or equotation in your routine.

4) Hunter is lower than jumper but the judgeing is stricter. The judge needs to like your horse and your rounds. In jumper, it's all skill. There are no preferences to a certain horse.

5)Jumper is generally open to horses only who can clear high jumps but there are certain jumper classes called pony jumper that are for ponies.

6) Another type of jumper is caled puissance, it is a competition to see which horse can clear the highest jump. Some horses have cleared over 7 and a half feet!

7) Hunter is very popular but it is not an event in the Olypics while Jumper is.

8)Some great jumpers include Milton, Monopoly, Big Ben and the mighty puissance horse, Saragat

9)In Hunter you should have a very steady flowing rhythem, while in jumper, beating the time allowed is the objective.

10) In jumper, after the horses have completed their first round, the horses that had clear rounds with zero faults move onto the jump-off
