Question

How many hands should a Hunter Under Saddle horse be?

Answer 1

Hunters tend to be big horses so that they have a nice big stride and move along gracefully.  But smaller horses can be fancy enough to win a hunter class... particularly ponies will often have a fancy step.  Size isn't really so important.  Look for a big graceful stride on a horse that frames himself nicely... that's more important than the size.
