Handy Hunter Exercises with Hope Hobday Glynn

Handy hunter classes are a popular choice in hunter divisions, but they can also present challenging jumping options. By simply utilizing three cones and couple of jumps, international hunter derby rider Hope Hobday Glynn shows how riders and horses can easily practice several handy hunter exercises right at home, build upon their skills, and develop the confidence needed to tackle those challenges once in the show ring.
