"There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's something I need." ~Author Unknown

Hunters is where the horse is judged on conformation, movement and way of going. Jumpers is judged by how quickly a horse can complete a course of jumps without faults. A fault can be one of many things, usually a refusal or knocking down one of the jumps. (taken from http://www.answers.com/topic/hunter-jumpers)
