Can a horse still jump if it has ringbone?

The comfort level may vary from horse to horse but it probably is not be a good idea. Jumping is very strenous especially on the horse's front feet and legs. As a horse lands on the other side of the jump all the concussion (from body weight, height and speed) is taken up by first one front hoof and then the other, depending on what lead the horse is on as he lands. Even small jumps may be too much for a horse that may be ouchy.
