The debate goes on, which type of horse sells better , the hunter or jumper? Which type of jumping horse sells better, the hunter or the jumper? This is a question that intrigues the horse professional and casual show rider alike. We can look at several factors to help us come up with a suitable hypothesis without actually conducting a horse sales census. The first being the amount of riders looking for a particular type of show horse. The second being the amount of availability of those different types of horses, and thirdly, the amount of classes offered at the horse shows for both the hunters and jumpers.
