Hunter hack is a type of English class where exhibitors in Hunt seat tack and attire perform on the flat at a walk, trot, canter and hand gallop, and then jump two low fences. The desired horse in this competition is to resemble a quiet, well-mannered working hunter rather than the more animated show hack.
Hunter hacks are scored on their manners, gait, and conformation, as well as their ability to jump with an even arc and stride over the center of the fences. Points are taken off for excessive speed or slowness, breaking gait or failing to take a gait when called for, carrying the head too high or low, taking the wrong lead at the canter, the rider being on the wrong diagonal at the trot, the horse nosing out or flexing behind the vertical, and stumbling.
Horses will jump two fences at heights of between 2' and 2'6".

The walk-trot one would be X-rails, I assume? However I noticed they have an age limit on that now. Think you can pass as 14 Tammy?!  |

I'll just say this .... Skipper and I just finished jumping 18 inches and that was plenty high for me. I'm not sure the spectators could handle any higher. For some reason there were gasps every time I managed to stay on. But the best news is that my thumb isn't broken, just stiff and bruised!
And YES, adults can ride ponies. Especially newfoundland ponies!
