Hunter Jumping and Show Jumping- Difference??

Hey guys I know I haven't posted anything in AGES, almost like a month. And I'm sorry, I've just been MEGA busy. I've had tests, projects, homework, a piano exam, a dance concert, heaps of horse riding, and possible horse leasing deals. Yes- it has been a busy month.
As you probably know, show jumping is when a horse jumps poles and stuff, like this:

But you may have also heard of hunter jumping, and it basically looks exactly the same. So what is the difference?
The basics of it is the same- people on horses ride a course and go over jumps. The main difference is how the course is ridden and how it is judged.
Show jumping is about how fast you can get around the course without knocking any poles down. There's a time limit and if you're outside the time limit you get faults. You also get faults if you knock any poles down and if your horse refuses (stops in front of the jump) or misses a jump. The person with the least faults at the end of the competition with the best time wins.
Hunter jumping is judged very differently. The judges don't care about time- they care about how nice you and your horse look over jumps, your horse's movements, the number of strides your horse takes between fences, etc. Like show jumping, it matters if you knock a pole but as I said before the time you take doesn't really matter.

So anyway, that's my post for the day- I hoped you learned something :)
