2. Horse jumping obstacles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_jumping_obstacles

   Horses will generally jump log fences quite well, as they look natural to the animal. It is best when designing and jumping such fences, however, to only ride over obstacles that have a larger log (rather than a thin, stick-like pole) as the horse will respect the jump and is more likely to jump it cleanly and boldly.

3. Jumping (horse) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_(horse)

   The bascule is the horse's arc over the fence. A horse with a good bascule makes a rounded jump and helps the horse jump higher. The forelegs are drawn up towards the body and the hindlegs are "retroflexed" out away from the body to clear the obstacle. During flight, the rider has little impact on the actual trajectory of the horse's body.

4. Show jumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show_jumping

   So a horse may jump "A" and "B" without issue but have a refusal at the third fence (C), at which time the rider would have to circle and return to jump fence "A" again, giving the horse a second chance to refuse or knock down "A" and "B". Despite being considered one obstacle, each element may result in penalty points if knocked down.

5. Steeplechase (horse racing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steeplechase_(horse_racing)

   The hurdle horse is trained to jump in as much of a regular stride as possible. This allows the horse to maintain its speed upon landing. Since it is not always possible to meet a fence in stride, the horses are also schooled in how to jump out of stride. An out-of-stride jump can decrease a horse's speed drastically.

6. Refusals and runouts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refusals_and_runouts

   A horse running out to the left to avoid jumping the obstacle. Refusal or runout in horse riding is the failure of a horse to jump a fence to which it is presented. This includes any stop in forward motion. A runout occurs when the horse quickly moves sideways to go around the fence instead of jumping it, without stopping forward motion. [1]

7. Puissance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puissance

   For the jump-offs, in which the fences are raised for each round, there are only two obstacles—a spread fence and the wall—although an optional practice fence is included. In the event of equality after the fifth round, riders share first prize. The puissance wall often has become taller than 2 metres (6 ft 7 in).

8. Becher's Brook - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becher's_Brook

   Becher's Brook before the modifications were made to the fence. Becher's Brook (/ ˈ b iː tʃ ər z / BEECH-ərz) [1] is a fence jumped during the Grand National, a National Hunt horse race held annually at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England. It is jumped twice during the race, as the 6th and 22nd fence, as well as on four other ...

9. Jumping position - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_position

   It gives the horse freedom to jump the obstacle, allowing it to keep the forelegs and hindlegs tight, thereby decreasing the chance that the horse rolls down or falls. It also encourages the horse to bascule over the fence, which improves jumping form and the ability to jump higher obstacles.
