show jumping

Mounted fence clearing

Show jumping is an equestrian sport in which horse and rider navigate a course of obstacles—fences, walls, and water features—within a time limit.

Faults accumulate for knocking down rails or refusing jumps.

The sport tests both the horse's athletic ability and the rider's skill in guiding it through increasingly difficult courses: She competed in show jumping at the Olympics.
