JUMPING
Jumping (show jumping) is one of the three Olympic equestrian disciplines.
Horse and rider are required to complete a course of obstacles, involving turns and changes of direction and located in an enclosed arena. The aim is to jump the course in the designed sequence with no mistakes. If any part of an obstacle is knocked down or if the horse refuses a jump, “faults” are incurred.
Depending on the type of the competition, the winner is the horse and rider combination which incurs the least number of penalties, completes the course in the fastest time or gains the highest number of points.
