It should not matter in the ring. Proper form is the most important thing, along with good horsemanship, and confidence.

Someone may say that a slim, strong build is best, but it really doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is self-confidence and trying your best.

The ideal build for a hunter jumper rider is a well-balanced and athletic physique. It is important to have good core strength, a strong lower body, and a flexible upper body. This will enable the rider to have a secure and effective position over fences and the ability to maintain balance and control while navigating tight turns and jumping obstacles.

The idea build for an English rider can vary a bit according to the form of riding done ( Jumping, Dressage, etc.).
