Hunter/Jumper

The equestrian sport of jumping falls into two categories: show jumping and hunter.
Show jumping is one of the three Olympic equestrian disciplines. Horses are guided over a course of colourful obstacles that fall down if struck. The horse/rider combination are penalized for obstacles that have been knocked down or refused, for a foot in the water of a water obstacle, or for taking more than the time allowed to complete the course. Placings are determined by numerical score only.
In the hunter ring, the horse and rider complete a course of more natural-looking obstacles and are judge on the horse's paces and style over fences. The judges are looking for a safe, sound horse who would carry his rider in safety and elegance over obstacles while riding to hounds in the traditional sport of fox hunting.

Attention, stable owners!
Does your property have a Premises Identification number ? It's a vital tool for the protection of your horses should a disease or disaster strike you area.
The Premises ID program is a national service that is free to owners of agricultural properties, including horse owners. (Even if you have only a single horse living on your property, you qualify for participation in this program.)
Premises ID is a way of linking livestock to land locations and is critical to support disease control activities and for managing animal health emergencies. Having a premises identification number for your operation allows for traceability information to be accessed quickly for the protection of animal health
Obtaining a Premises ID is free, and requires only a form. Once the information has been received and validated by the provincial or territorial government where the premises is located, a unique identification number is provided for this specific location.
