The difference between hunters and jumpers is best summarized as subjectivity vs. objectivity. Hunters are judged subjectively, by a human. Judges place horse and rider pairs based on rider ability, horse ability, and style. Jumpers however, are judged objectively, against the clock with faults such as knock downs and refusals added to the score.
