WHICH COMES FIRST?

The format of hunter hack can vary, depending on where you’re showing. Breed shows often start with jumping. Each horse enters the ring, one at a time, and jumps the short course. Then all the horses work together as a group on the flat. At hunter shows, however, the flatwork comes first. Once that’s finished, the entire class lines up in the center of the arena. Then each competitor takes a turn jumping. Regardless of the order, hunter hack classes are essentially judged the same.
