How much a horse should jump depends on many things including age, health, and level of competition. No horse should jump for more than two days in a row. Many professional competitors only jump a horse about 2 to 3 times a week over jumps that are lower than what the horse would jump in shows, though they may add taller jumps in to keep the horse jumping at a certain height. Never jump a horse younger than 3 years old or one with certain joint problems. You should consult with your equine Vet about how often your horse should jump.

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!

How do you ride a horse towards a jump?
To ride a horse towards a jump you'll need a horse that has seen or be over jumps before, otherwise the horse could spook and try to bolt away from the jump. Once warmed up and riding in a good frame aim the horse at the jump dead center and move into a forward trot or canter. Once the horse gets about 6 feet from the jump give a tiny squeeze with your calves to let him know to go over it. The horse should jump the obstacle without much of a problem. If it is the horses first time jumping you may want to grab some mane as they tend to jump very big over their first jump.
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!
