performance, providing a lack of
hesitation and a certain brilliance
is present. Frequently a hunter is
entered in both hunting and jump

Most hunting jumps are three
feet and six inches in height. Jump
ing classes start at three feet six
inches. Five and one half feet is
considered a fairly good jump. The
worlds record is considerably over
six feet.
The judge for the hunting and
jumping classes at the Wilmington

has a national reputation as a
horseman, and whose judgment, is
highly respected by hunting and
