Whats the word? I've talked about this before, with previous input below is a list of classes people seem to want. Would you show your hunters here, would plan to host @ SAI? Looking for any kind of input!
HUNTER DIVISIONS
Each Division includes 2 over-fences & 1 Under-saddle class
Hunter Under Saddle classes: The horse is judged "on the flat," meaning jumping is not involved. In show hunter classes, the horse's movement and manners are judged, with quality of movement paramount.
Over-fences classes: The horse is judged over a course of fences. In show hunter classes, particular attention is paid to the horse's jumping form, the fluidity of the course, and its take-off spot for each fence on the course. The judge also looks for correct leads in the turns or clean flying changes, good movement, and a calm ride.

FLAT CLASSES
Hunter Hack
Hunter hack is a type of English pleasure class where exhibitors in Hunt seat tack and attire perform on the flat at a walk, trot, canter and hand gallop, and then jump two low fences. The desired horse in this competition is to resemble a quiet, well-mannered working hunter rather than the more animated American-style show hack.
Show Hack
In North American classes, the show hack is to show at extended, regular and collected versions of the walk, trot and canter, as well as performing a hand gallop, halt and the rein back. Particular emphasis is placed on gait transitions and obedience. While fluid, smooth gaits are always desired, a more dressage-like frame is favored.
Road Hack
Another variation on show hack is the Road Hack, a class seen in North American horse breed competition. The rules are similar to Show Hack, but a greater emphasis is placed on the extended gaits.
