Let the Hunter Judges Help You Win
What if you could ask a top USEF judge about 15 or 20 different questions about classic equitation and the ideal hunter, type of tack, adding a stride in a combination, using a crop, equitation work-offs, rider's attire, lead changes, using a crop. And then imagine if you could listen to that same clinic by not one but 10 or more USEF judges, listen to them once and then listen over and over again. What an education you would get!
Well, the hunter and equitation judges want you to know what it takes to win. There are rules that allow only limited interaction with the horse show judges at most horse shows, but you can now tap into the knowledge base of these judges and benefit from their experience. Many of the United States Equestrian Federation's top rated judges have been interviewed and filmed. These judges have all presided over the highest level of hunter shows from the east to the west coast, such as Indoors, Palm Beach, Capitol Challenge, Harrisburg, HITS, Toronto Royal Winter Fair, Devon and many others. In addition, they are also trainers, clinicians, riders, and instructors. They have been asked the same specific, detailed questions that you would ask. And you can now learn from their knowledge, and benefit from their experience and feedback solisten to them and learn.
An example question might be "In an equitation class, what "extra credit" moves do you like to see, on the flat and over fences?"A horse show is just that, a SHOW, and judges expect to see horses and riders at their best performance. Savvy riders will go the extra distance and push the envelope to show off their best qualities and their horse's best qualities. Would a stylish sitting trot, a counter canter into the arena, or a turn on the forehand make an inpact?
Or other questionscould be"What do you look for in a hunter? What is your idea of a "classic hunter"? In a hunter under saddle class, comment on the "frame" of the horse you are looking for." Although standards exist for high level judges, judging hunters is largely subjective, based onjumping form,technique and overall impression. In hunter under saddle classes, the horse's movement and manners are judged, with quality of movement paramount.Good trainers and riders can accentuate their horse's movement by creating a more extended, fluid and balanced gait. This gait is established through various means: establishing a certain amount of collection, moving at a faster pace, sometimes a looser rein, and/or various equipment to achieve the desired "frame" or way of going.
Or questions like "What do you especially look for in an equitation ride? What are your top 3 priorities in the rider's form in terms of importance in an equitation rider, and why? (heels, hands, seat, etc.)" "Do you consider tack (martingales and bit) on a hunter? "
