If there is an issue where your horse comes up lame while jumping then you need to have the vet out to take a look at the horse to see what the issue is. Not all horses are capable of jumping as it puts enormous strain on their tendons, ligaments, muscles and bones. Your horse may have an old injury that will not allow it to jump, or to jump as much as you would like to. In any case if the horse comes up lame repeatedly then you likely will not be able to use that horse for jumping any longer.

It depends on how much patience and training you give to the horse.
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.
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!

No. Only members can jump. If you are a member, then yes, you must advance to a certain level. But if you are non-member, it does not matter. You will never be allowed to jump unless you become a member.
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.
