Hunter Pleasure
Another class on the flat, where the horse's manners and suitability for the rider are ranked more highly than quality of conformation and movement. The horse should look like it is a pleasure to ride. [Source: Wikipedia] Horses may be asked to exhibit the walk, trot, and canter, and the judge may also request a hand gallop or extended trot. This class is divided into Pony, Regular, and Green divisions. Hand gallop is not required for Green classes. Posts are required for the Hunter Please class from the horse only. If riding DS is utilized in the dream where the class is held, riders are expected. At the beginning of the class, the judge will announce the requirement for all exhibitors to post. (Examples would be 'trot', 'walk', 'canter', 'hand gallop, 'extended trot'.) The horses will have five to eight minutes to assemble a post. When prompted by the judge, the horse will post. After considering all posts, the judge will place the class. In the event of a 'tie' in the judge's mind, s/he may request no more than one more post from the exhibitors who are tied for a placement. It should be of a different acceptable requirement, i.e., if the judge originally asked for 'trot', s/he should now request something else such as 'walk' or 'hand gallop'.
