Beginner riders should not jump until they are balanced and comfortable with and without stirrups on the flat (walk, trot, and canter).

After that, they can start working on their two point over ground poles.

When the rider is ready to jump, crossrails are usually used. The goal is to become comfortable with crossrails and move on to verticals and oxers.

Always learn from an experienced riding instructor to get the best riding experience possible safely and effectively. Good luck!

A beginner should aim to jump at a height that is comfortable and safe for both the rider and the horse. Typically, starting with small jumps around 1-1.5 feet high is recommended to build confidence and skills before progressing to higher jumps. It is important to work with a qualified instructor who can assess your abilities and guide you on appropriate jump heights.

On the other hand, my Quarter Horse can only jump a max of 3 ft. You see, all horse breeds have a different standard. :)

How much should you jump your horse during training?

How much a horse should jump depends on many things including age, health, and level of competition. No horse should jump for more than two days in a row. Many professional competitors only jump a horse about 2 to 3 times a week over jumps that are lower than what the horse would jump in shows, though they may add taller jumps in to keep the horse jumping at a certain height. Never jump a horse younger than 3 years old or one with certain joint problems. You should consult with your equine Vet about how often your horse should jump.

How do you jump a clear round show jumping course?

3 things: Practice, practice, practice! And remember, even a triple time champion knocks down fences. BUT - Don't over-face your horse (jump too high of jumps for his ability), but never underestimate your horses abilities. If you are new to show jumping, or your horse is new to it, or he/she is just not responding well to it, MAKE SURE YOU HORSE ACTUALLY LIKES JUMPING. If he/she does, then ask yourself, "Is my horse bored, because I'm not jumping him quite to his cababilities?" or"Is my horse nervous/anxious/depressed about Show Jumping that I might be overwhelming him?". If you answered yes to either of those questions, then decide - "Should my horse keep jumping, or have I ruined his desire to jump? "Should I jump him over higher jumps to keep his interest sharp"? "Should I start more slowly and moderately, and jump lower easier jumps, until he is ready to move up?" "Is my horse Show-Shy? Should I warm him up to shows gradually with an experienced show veteran until he is more comfortable?" Also, is this horse the right match for you? Are you a high level jumper/rider, and your horse needs a more beginner rider, or more training? And PLEASE remember, Horses Aren't Push-Button Machines - they are beings with a mind of their own. Just like you and me.
