Show Jumping is a competitive equestrian discipline in which horse and rider navigate a course of obstacles within a set time, aiming to complete the round with the fewest penalties. The course consists of fences of varying heights, widths, and technical difficulty, designed to test the horse’s agility, power, accuracy, and obedience, as well as the rider’s skill, balance, and decision-making.

Penalties are incurred for knocking down rails, refusals, or exceeding the allotted time. Success in show jumping depends on precise control, effective communication, and a strong partnership between horse and rider.

Show Jumping is governed internationally by the FEI and is one of the three Olympic equestrian disciplines, alongside Dressage and Eventing.
