Working Hunter Riders

Working hunters is a popular showing class in the UK, gind information on leading riders from around the UK. Although the qualities of the working hunter are based on those of the field hunter, the modern show horse is somewhat different from its counterpart in the field. The field hunter must be tougher and more durable, with great stamina, to cope with the difficulties of a long day of hunting. The field hunter must also be extremely brave, as it often has to jump solid objects, and other natural obstacles such as stone walls, ditches, banks, and hedges, and must occasionally go through water. Unlike the show hunter, the field hunter must travel over varied terrain. In some ways, a good field hunter is more closely related to a good eventer, rather than a show hunter, as the cross-country phase of eventing includes ditches, banks, water, brush, and varied terrain. The show hunter has been bred for attractive appearance, fluidity, and precision in the arena. It is common for the modern show hunter to train only in the arena, with little to no experience in the field.
