Horses don't "learn" too jump as such its in their blood and they automatically know how to do it. Its like learning to crawl for a baby i guess??? Nobody TEACHES a baby to crawl they know they have to learn it and keep trying. Horses don't generally jump out of fields and stuff, they have no reason too but if they are being rode and are faced with a jump, if they are confident, they are being ridden well and safely, the horse is comfortable and they are at a decent speed.. they will jump it. When horses jump for the first time you should keep with small cross poles, gradually raising the jumps over a period of time, making low, small courses, changing the directions and patterns of jumping to keep them interested in it. So they do "learn" to jump properly and higher but in their heads, naturally they CAN jump and in the wild in danger a horse would attempt to jump high barriers that would lead them away from the danger. xx

How are horses able to jump?
by bending their legs and its natural they just know either their will jump or crash... --this is true-- The same way people jump.They jump by cantering towards the jump. Horses rely mainly on you, so you stand in the stirrups. the horse will lift off, and you sail over. Careful, though, as if you gallop, your horse will approach too fast, and all the weight will come crashing down on his legs as he stumbles. This can break a horses leg. Horses are able to trot-jump, too. Horses eventually learn by the fact that "Oh my gosh I cant go around it! Oh my gosh I cant go through it! And wow i can go over it!" Most ponies are taught to tuck their legs under by when they go over it the people on the other sides of the jumps raise it to bump them as they go over it. Horses learn just like us!
