Show jumping is also known as jumpers, stadium jumping, or open jumping. It is a member of a family of English riding equestrian events. The Enclosure Acts of England invented show jumping in the 18th century.

Show jumping's first occurrence within an arena was in Dublin in 1869, though France held groups which would jump cross-country. Show jumping started because of the Enclosure Acts, which allowed Commissioners to fence off land as they saw fit, causing hunting on horses to suddenly require fence-jumping.
