Show Hunter Waitemata Hunter Derby - 23rd/24th February 2013

In the Hunter Derby classes horses will be marked on character and exuberance in their round. The horses are encouraged to show some expression, be athletic and to be daring. Balance, straightness and a good jumping style are still important; a combination of these will be rewarded.

For true American Hunter style, Tail jackets (Shad belly Hunter Coats as they are called in the US) may be worn.Click here to view Hunter Derby rules.
