∙ 14y agoMore than any breed, hunters are more a type. In today's hunter showrings the judges like to see a tall, pretty mover. And most judges at open hunters shows usually like solid colored coat patterns. Paints, Pintos and Appaloosas may not do as well. The horse's form over fences will also weigh heavily in your final score. Hunters must be calm with an even speed and style of the jumps. As he jumps he should have a rounded topline and it is important that he tucks his knees tight and evenly as he goes over the top rail. Sloppy jumpers won't do well in hunters. There are a lot of Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbred crosses in the hunter rings. Some Thoroughbreds can be a little "hot" or highstrung for the hunter classes. There are also many Warmbloods. These may be a calmer ride that a full Thoroughbred. In hunter classes remember that your horse is only half of the picture. The rider's skill and form will either help or hurt the overall picture.

When is the best time to breed the friesian horse?
The best time to breed ANY horse breed is in the summer. When daylight is in its prime, so is the mare's heat. This is how it was planned in the wild. When bred in the early summer, foals were born in late spring, when grass was at its best, the temperatures were warm, and the foal had a long time until the cold winter.
