Their is no different name for a rider of a quarter horse that the rider of a, lets say a Morgan or a Arabian.

You can narrow it down more too. Lets say you jump on your horse. You could say that you are a jumper or if you barrel race you could call yourself a barrel racer.

They just aren't built for it.

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!
