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.

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or hack:
“What we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.”
