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!

Is a Canadian horse good at show jumping?
Any horse is capable of show jumping. They may or may not be good at it though. But all horses have potential to do anythin that they put their mind to, just like humans. So therefore, i do belive that a Canadian horse can Show Jump. :) EDIT: Yes it is. i own a Canadian and hes used for dressage but he could jump 3' 6" easily. (i don't really know what the height of show jumping is though, as i do not do it any more.)
How do you change 'the horse will jump in the show' to passive voice?
Passive voice is what you read in a textbook or newspaper - the focus is on what happened instead of who did it. So instead of saying "The horse will jump in the show," which clearly has the horse as the main subject and shows what the horse did, you'd say "Jumps were taken by the horse in the show," which shifts the focus to what happened.Passive voice often contains different forms of "to be," such as was, were, is, are. This can clue you in on what might be a passive sentence.Passive voice is also much less interesting to read than active voice, and is usually a more convoluted way of saying something.
