Small hunter classes

[WackyWelsh]

Does anybody know what the judges are looking for in a small hunter class? My Appaloosa X is 15.2 and is not super chunky, but isn’t fine either.
Can you have a hogged hunter? And what is the tack and turnout for it?
Thank you 😁

You don’t get many small Hunter classes at local level and you will not see any hogged hunters at anything higher than local level.

The judges are looking for a small middleweight Hunter. It’s hard enough with a coloured in the small Hunter classes as there is a big prejudice against them I personally wouldn’t try if yours has spots.

He did well enough at county level and held his own but probably never going to win a small hunter class since he didn’t have the quality of movement needed.

A small is a middleweight scaled down.

Quality, movement and manners.
