'''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 [[show hunter|working hunter]] rather than the more animated American-style [[show hack]].<ref>[http://www.das.psu.edu/pdf/overfences2006.pdf "Guidelines for Pennsylvania 4-H Working Hunter, Hunt Seat Equitation Over Fences and Hunter Hack"].
