They can be with the right training and rider to help them along.
Yes they are very good jumpers...They are very good show horses and many people use them for jumping competitions.
Yes. Any horse can be a good jumper if they are willing and built right. Thoroughbreds have a lean, rangy conformation and are very quick and bold. They can be quite scopey show jumpers, or brave eventing horses.
Successful racehorses, show jumpers, and other horses that have done well in competitions are the most expensive. These are generally highly trained Thoroughbreds or warmbloods (Hanovarians, Oldenburgs, etc.)
jumpers...lol
It generally is, yes. Left to their own designs, horses will commonly jump over obstacles in their way. But some show a much higher preference for it than others - they are then trained to become expert jumpers.

Show jumpers in general tend to be lean, lithe, tall and leggy. These are typically warmbloods from the European continent, which were originally developed by crossing Arabians with draft horses to blend the size of a draft with the speed and verve of the Arabian.
No, you do not have to show horses in barrels.
Friesians can make OK lower level show jumpers, but they are not designed nor bred to jump. Friesians were originally bred to pull carriages, plow fields, and on occasion to carry a night into battle if needed. Modern Friesians are now also bred for Classical Dressage competitions.
The Whitaker Family are famous show jumers and there are loads of others xlolx Why don't you look on the HOYS website to see some more showjumping "heros"

Yes there was! There was Eventing and Jumpers. There was also dressage but that isn't show jumping.
