It generally is, yes. Left to their own designs, horses will commonly jump over obstacles in their way. But some show a much higher preference for it than others - they are then trained to become expert jumpers.

How did Equestrian begin?
I'm not sure of the time period, but anyways, in old England it was common for men to take their horses and hounds on "the hunt," which you have probably heard of. Along the way, the horses would have to test their strength and endurance and have to overcome numerous natural obstacles, such as logs, streams, fences, etc., in which riders eventually taught their horses to jump over them. Soon, horse jumping developed into a sport of its own. Thus, equestrianism (or jumping, rather) was born.
How are horses able to jump?
by bending their legs and its natural they just know either their will jump or crash... --this is true-- The same way people jump.They jump by cantering towards the jump. Horses rely mainly on you, so you stand in the stirrups. the horse will lift off, and you sail over. Careful, though, as if you gallop, your horse will approach too fast, and all the weight will come crashing down on his legs as he stumbles. This can break a horses leg. Horses are able to trot-jump, too. Horses eventually learn by the fact that "Oh my gosh I cant go around it! Oh my gosh I cant go through it! And wow i can go over it!" Most ponies are taught to tuck their legs under by when they go over it the people on the other sides of the jumps raise it to bump them as they go over it. Horses learn just like us!
Does the jump matter with how high horses can jump?
Of course it does! If your horse is a Shetland and you ask it to jump over a 1 meter high jump, then you'll kill it!
