show jumper
Arena obstacle rider
A show jumper is a horse trained to compete in show jumping—an equestrian sport where horse and rider navigate a course of fences and obstacles within a time limit.
The term also applies to the rider: She's been a competitive show jumper since childhood.
Show jumpers are judged on clearing obstacles cleanly and completing courses quickly.
