This is when horse and rider tackle a series (course) of jumps. They become harder depending on the level of the class entered. This kind of event requires a well trained horse to be able to clear the off-putting bright fences that they have to face. If you knock a pole off, 4 faults are scored against you, if you refuse a jump, the same again, if you refuse a jump twice, you are disqualified and if you fall you are disqualified. If you go clear (meaning you dont knock any jumps down), then you can move onto the jump off with the other pairs that went clear from the last class with you.

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.)
