Working Hunter includes a jumping section as well as being judged on the ride and confirmation of your horse.

The jumping section is over a different type of fence to showjumping. Hunter fences are more rustic (basically all natural brown rather than coloured) and include other obsticles such as bullrushes, stiles and pens - they are designed to replicate things you might encounter on a hunt.

If she wants the difference thats up here,
I do beleive hunter is all judged on your horses stride, ability to keep an even pace, form o/f, riders equitation, and the overall appearance. lol. Alot of keep in mind!
Jumpers is just how fast you can get around your course with the least faults.

I'm pretty sure thats what it is. I ride hunter, so I know thats what it is around here.
