Open to THRC members and non-members

Working Hunter Classes shall be judged as follows:
• Each competitor jumps a course of rustic fences.
• All clear rounds (or possibly those with a few penalties, depending on class) will be called back into the ring to perform an individual show as advised by the judge.
• Competitors will then be placed according to the judge’s marks (jumping style, individual show and conformation of horse/pony – bearing in mind its suitability as a ‘hunter’ type).

• Rider – Tweed jacket (ideally), shirt, tie, and light-coloured breeches / jodhpurs. Brown or tan gloves, long boots (adults), short boots (children), approved standard riding hat / jockey skull. No spurs for juniors or Mountain and Moorland riders.
• Horse/Pony – any suitable bridle (martingales are allowed). Discreet numnah. Boots may be worn for the jumping phase only. Turn out according to type e.g. Mountain and Moorland’s and cobs need not be plaited.
