training and hard work. you can start by trotting over ground poles, and then cantering over them. develop trust in your horse, and get your horse to trust you. then you can set up a cross-rail, and start by trotting over it. then canter. this takes a long time to work up to. if your horse has never jumped before, if you have never ridden before, if you do not feel comfortable, don't do it without a professional of a certified instructor.

Just incase you mean how do you personally jump, its really easy. as you trot (or canter to a jump) don't look as the poles or fence. You want to look straight ahead or where ur gonna turn, cuz you look where you go, so if you look at the ground... well that's where you'll end up. remind your horse that theres nothing to be afraid of. then as u near the jump, slowly rise up into your 2 point position and jump. give your horse head room with the reins but don't have sloppy reins. when you land go onto the next jump. when your done, give your horse a quick pat on the neck. when you ride you are one with your horse, so keep in mind that you have to tell your horse what to do from your body and not as much noise. that my friend, is how you jump (:

It depends on how good you are and also how frequently you practice.

Taking all of that into account I would say you need to be able to be off the lead reign and be able to canter and at the very least be gaining and starting to canter.

A good starting point for jumping is walking over raised poles and then go for jumping poles at around a foot high.

most people that are a bit more advanced will put it up to 4 feet, very advanced will put it up to 6 feet, but beginers start at 1 or 2 feet

it depends on how many strides you want, and there called standards, but it matters on the amount of strides

What is the meaning of a scopey jump on a pony or horse?

When a horse scopes out a jump, it just means that the horse is looking at the jump trying to get a good idea of how tall/long it is and where they have to take off in order to be able to clear the jump.

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!
