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.
The sport of horse racing over jumps is called steeplechasing, while racing with no jumps is called flat racing.
It's just called jumping. The Jumping shows are called Show Jumping, and then Hunter-Jumper. From what I have heard, Show Jumping is based on speed and focuses more on the horse than the rider. Hunter-Jumper is about the rider.

Wood and plastic are the usual materials to manufacture horse jumps. Plastic jumps are more durable than wood jumps and can stand more impacts than wood jumps.
Riding in Hunter Under Saddle is like Western Pleasure in English tack. A Hunter Under Saddle horse should move with long, flowing strides and should carry its head so that the poll is level with the withers! Both rider and horse should look slightly relaxed, but attentive. Hunter Under Saddle is about showing what a pleasure the horse is to ride!

*Why are jumps called jumps?In order to clear an "obstacle" of any sort, a horse must jump over it. Therefore these "obstacles" became known as jumps.
