Not usually. They are too big. But sometimes they can but they would never make good jumpers because they are too big and heavy. But they are still wonderful and magnificent animals. They are intelligent and strong but unfortunatly they would never get you to far in the jumping world.from-a all around animal loving vegetarian
Actually yes. Mine does and does it quite well. I'm going to be eventing her this year (2008). Not all members of the breed can do it, but not all TB's can jump either....so it is important not to generalize, but to look at the horse as an individual. ~ FriesiangrlThey are mainly bred for dressage and driving, but yes, friesians can become excellant jumpers.Yes, they can jump. they cannot move on to Olympics or anything, because of their body structure. But its like a pitbull running agility. They can do it great, with work, but they cannot go to the top.
Yes they can jump, but not that well. i have a 3 year old friesian cross welsh section D gelding and after knocking down a few jumps ( which were 1ft ) he has started picking his feet up and is jumping better. But he is also learning very quickly in the schooling part of things. So i think it depends on the horse as a individual, but it is always worth trying out dressage and jumping to see which your horse perfers. Going Hunting with your horse also helps with the jumping. Once they have knock them selfs a few times on the XC jumps they will learn that they need to jump it so they dont get hurt. Hope this helps ~ Kokimagic.
