Yes, with proper training and care gaited horses can jump.

When you have people who say gaited horses can't jump, what they are basically saying is that "no, a horse can't jump." which is false. Horses need basics to survive (aside from food, water, shelter, ect.) they need strength and agility without that horses won't be able to survive at all. Jumping is one of those instincts horses do. If a horse can't jump in the wild, especially if its getting chased by a predator and there's a log in the way, then the horse would stop and it will die. Horses have agility and yes THEY CAN JUMP. Don't let people fool you because jumping is one of many horse natural abilities. However, you need to train gaited horses before you go all crazy, remember that gaited horses don't have the same muscles as non-gaited horses do, just do some training and hire a trainer to help you. ALL horses can jump the trainer and the rider just need to put their heart into it.
