The show hack is a type of ridden show horse, exhibited to a standard first established in England. Affiliated showing and breeding of the show hacks in the United Kingdom is overseen by the British Show Horse Association. In the USA and Canada, show hack is solely a form of competition open to various breeds and overseen by the USEF and Equine Canada (EC). The Canadian form of competition is more closely modeled on the British standard than that of the USA. ==Conformation and breeding== Show hacks in the UK are divided into two height classes - small hacks are 148cms to 154 cms and large hacks are 154 cms to 160 cms. In Canada, there are also height divisions, at the discretion of show management. Ponies are defined as standing under , and horses may be divided into two or three sections; 14.2 h up to , and over 15.3 h, or 14.2h to , over 15.2h to , and over 16 h. Australian show hacks are of any breed and are usually divided into height classes in the following categories: pony, under , galloway, and over . Other classes may include pony hack ridden by a child, lady’s hack, educated hack, sidesaddle, pleasure and heavyweight hacks.〔''Show Horse'' Magazine, No. 1, Murray Publishers, Sydney, p. 22〕 Hacks in any nation must be of elegant appearance, and show excellent self-carriage. In the UK, they are usually full or part-bred Thoroughbreds. Anglo-Arabians are particularly successful in these classes. In the United States and Canada, in addition to horses of Thoroughbred and Arabian breeding, Morgans, Ponies, Warmbloods and part-Warmblood horses also are seen, as North American competition favors a dressage-like frame and way of going. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「show hack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
