The $25,000 Knightwood Hunter Derby
& The $25,000 Hogan’s Inn Hunter Derby

The best 3’6” horses in the Canadian Hunter Derby Series from across the country will be invited to the National Final at the Royal Winter Fair to compete for $25,000 and the Lorna Jean Guthrie Challenge Trophy. Selection of horses is based on points accumulated in the East (Quebec and Ontario) and West (Alberta and British Columbia) series qualifying regions.

The Hunter Derby provides an opportunity for hunter riders to take center stage in a grand prix environment and showcase the high performance capabilities of horse and rider through:
· Challenging courses that demand athleticism and boldness
· Natural and interesting jumps with greater variation in construction
· Judging that rewards handiness and brilliance while still emphasizing jumping style, manners, way of going and  smoothness
