What else can I help you with?
What do you do if your horse refuses a jump in the show arena?
if your horse refuses the jump, you turn the horse around in a circle, then go a little ways away from the jump, (but not too far giving the horse time to think about how to get away with going over the jump) and then (if the jump is not too large) trot your horse over the jump giving it leg pressure up to the jump to coax it to jump. (its easier to trot over the jump than canter when your horse doesn't want to jump it) if your horse refuses a jump during a show, this will count down points but if your horse refuses a few times you are disqualified. hope that helps!
Does spooking matter with how higha horse can jump?
Spooking does not matter hoe high a horse can jump. If a horse has jumped over fences and has been trained you will be able to have your horse jump higher in competition.
How do you jump with a horse?
well what you do is you lean foreward and put your bottom into the air so that the horse can jump easier and better. that way you won't fall off. i remember when i was a little girl probaly in grade 1 i fell off a horse when it was jumping. Make sure the horse has plenty of slack in the reins as you jump, so that the horse has full freedom of its head. You don't want to catch him in the mouth because your reins are too tight. This will result in your horse being scared to jump. You also need enough momentum, so you have to go at at least a trot. A horse can jump from a walk, but it's easier at the trot or canter, and at a walk the horse is more likely to step over it rather than jump. Be quiet in the saddle, you don't want to unbalance the horse. And always look where you are going, not down at the horse. This goes for even when you're not jumping, but it's easy to forget and look at the horse, especialy in the jumping position. Also, do not jump if you are afraid. Your horse will notice this and get nervous. You must be confident about going over the jump. Don't get ahead of the horse because this unbalances him and if he refuses, you'll go over his head.

How do you ride a horse towards a jump?
To ride a horse towards a jump you'll need a horse that has seen or be over jumps before, otherwise the horse could spook and try to bolt away from the jump. Once warmed up and riding in a good frame aim the horse at the jump dead center and move into a forward trot or canter. Once the horse gets about 6 feet from the jump give a tiny squeeze with your calves to let him know to go over it. The horse should jump the obstacle without much of a problem. If it is the horses first time jumping you may want to grab some mane as they tend to jump very big over their first jump.
Do you have any advice for a jump shy horse?
To jump a shy horse, you need to teach it to trust you first. Once it trusts you, ride it and go over poles on the ground. If the horse shys, lead it over the poles reasuring it. Do this until the horse is confident going over the poles. Then ride over the poles. When the horse is used to that, do the smallest jump possible. (on the wings of course) Once its confident with that, go higher. Remember to pace the horse though don't push it.
When you jump a hurdle do you let go of the reins?
No you do not fully let go of the reins normally, you do however give the horse its head over the jump by dong a crest release which is moving your hands up the horses neck to let it stretch and use its neck over the jump. you can do an exercise called flying angels which is when you jump over the jump with your hands out to the side. NO. you never let go of the reins on purpose no matter what.
How do you do a flying change over a jump?

How do you teach horse how to jump?
Start Your Horse With Walk/Trot/Canter Poles And Familiarize Your Horse With Small Cavalleti's for a month or until they can walk/trot/canter over poles and a small cavalleti with ease and no hesatation. I think that it's also a good idea to free lunge/or lunge them over the cavalleti or small cross rail once comfortable. Just remember to be patient and use repetition. Don't get frustrated with your horse if he/she isn't learning how to jump as you expected. Some Horses just aren't cutt out for jumping.
