What breed of horse is best for jumping?
Hanoverian The Hanoverian is a warmblood bred specifically for jumping, eventing, and dressage. According to the American Hanoverian Society, "The goal of the Hanoverian breeding program is to produce a noble horse with a cooperative temperament, elastic gaits, correct conformation, and outstanding ability in international equestrian disciplines." For children, Connemara ponies are also really good jumpers - I once had a 14hand Connemara that could jump 1.2meters I believe that there is no specific breed of horse that is "best" for jumping. I think that a breed can have good jumpers, but there are other breeds to that can produce some superb jumpers! The horse that placed 3rd at the Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event 2010 was an off the track Thoroughbred (OTTB). However MANY MORE horses are brilliant for riding!!! Another breed is the Dutch Warmblood! The show jumpers in the Olympics use these horses because of their powerful hind legs!

Some horses, however, even if they are one of those breeds, are completely horrible, and likewise for horses like Arabians. Sometimes Arabians are slow and gentle. Depends on the horse.
