Hunter classes, which may not necessarily be over fences, were developed to judge desirable qualities in field hunters. While the rider’s skill is important, hunter classes are all about the horse. The job of a rider in a hunter round is mostly to show off the horse.
Horses are expected to have a look of quality and athleticism, excellent manners, an economical but stylish “way of going” (how the horse moves), and a safe, graceful jumping style.
Hunter shows may also include equitation classes in which the rider is being judged.
In equitation, the rider’s job is to “make it look easy”. Riders are judged on position, style, and quietness. Fidgeting, readjusting, and excessive leg and rein aids will be heavily penalized in an equitation round.
Judges are looking for a smooth, effortless round from the rider.
Show jumping is judged objectively using a combination based on time and faults.
Horse and rider pairs must clear the course within the time allowed, or risk being penalized for every second over the allowable time. Time faults are doled out for falls, refusals, going off course, or knocking down a rail.
