First you must properly warm the horse up, once this is done, you may begin jumping. It's best to make a circle then come off of the circle onto a straight line and head for the center of the jump, don't worry about seeing/counting strides just let the horse do the work. As the horse takes off do not throw yourself forward trying to 'help' the horse jump this is bad form and hinders the horse. Just let the motion of the jump carry you into a nice jumping position and remember to sit back down lightly in the saddle after the horse has touched down on the other side.

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!
