The comfort level may vary from horse to horse but it probably is not be a good idea. Jumping is very strenous especially on the horse's front feet and legs. As a horse lands on the other side of the jump all the concussion (from body weight, height and speed) is taken up by first one front hoof and then the other, depending on what lead the horse is on as he lands. Even small jumps may be too much for a horse that may be ouchy.

What do you do if your horse won't go over a jump unless another horse does it first?
If your horse refuses a jump, try again! If he/she still refuses, walk her/him up to the jump and let her/him sniff and look at it. Once he/she feels comfortable around the jump, try it again. If that doesn't work, you should carry a crop with you. Good luck!
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!
