The Arabian was the first horse to jump seven feet in equine history.

To ride a horse towards a jump you'll need a horse that has seen or be over jumps before, otherwise the horse could spook and try to bolt away from the jump. Once warmed up and riding in a good frame aim the horse at the jump dead center and move into a forward trot or canter. Once the horse gets about 6 feet from the jump give a tiny squeeze with your calves to let him know to go over it. The horse should jump the obstacle without much of a problem. If it is the horses first time jumping you may want to grab some mane as they tend to jump very big over their first jump.
One jump - two jumps
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!
The horse jump with crossed polls is called an "oxer." It consists of two vertical poles with one placed in front of the other at an angle, creating a wider jump for the horse to clear.
yes any breed or type of horse can jump, how well they jump depends on how well the horse was trained.
If your horse refuses a jump, try again! If he/she still refuses, walk her/him up to the jump and let her/him sniff and look at it. Once he/she feels comfortable around the jump, try it again. If that doesn't work, you should carry a crop with you. Good luck!

Spooking does not matter hoe high a horse can jump. If a horse has jumped over fences and has been trained you will be able to have your horse jump higher in competition.
