start with trotting poles then raise them and slowley build up to a jump,you may want to lunge them over first!
It depends on how much patience and training you give to the horse.
A hunter horse can jump, but it is not made for just that. It is usually used for hunting, hence its name, it can also be used as an all- rounder. hope that helped.
here is a video explaining the worlds biggest horse jump! (see related link)
I would not recommend doing this by yourself. Have a professional trainer do it for you or help you do it.
Working Hunter is the division of riding that only the professional horse riders ride in with the most athletic hunter horses. Hunters in the horse world is when horse and rider are judged over fences for their style and grace instead of strength and speed for the jumpers. The working hunter is where instead of jumping 3 feet 6 inches like the junior hunters or amateur owner hunters, these horses jump 4 feet.
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.
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.
it depends on what you would like to teach them. if you would like to break them in and you don't know how, it's probably best to call a professional. if you would like to teach tour horse how to jump, you put them on a lead rope and put them in a round yard until you have taught them the words: walk on, trot, canter, whoah etc. then you must have a lot of patience for the horse.
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!
yes any breed or type of horse can jump, how well they jump depends on how well the horse was trained.
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.
Of course you can teach a western horse to ride english.
