What breed of horse is best for jumping?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

There are loads of breeds that are great jumpers just depends how you train them there is no 1 particular breed that excells in dressage i meen Thoroughbreds show jump dont they but they are also raced and hunted! Other horses good at jumping are Warmbloods like the Oldenburg, Hanoverian, Trakehner but these horses are also useful for dressage. There are plenty more but as the person before me said, alot of breeds or cross breeds are good at jumping. Hope this helps!!

Answer 3

Any breed of horse can make a good jumper. It really depends on if the horse has a talent for the sport and likes what it does. Thoroughbreds set many original world records for jumping but now many people prefer European warmbloods due to their calmer temperament's.

Warmblood breeds like hanoverians, danish warmbloods, draft horses crossed with thoroughbreds, etc. are a popular choice for jumping, and there are many hot blooded breeds used for jumping, like thoroughbreds and arabians.
