can u train this horse to jump plz read more?

I probably wouldnt start with a jump..... You'll need to lay out some poles for trotting and cantering over. Lunge him over these poles on a daily basis, start with one pole, then add another. Please make sure they are the correct distance apart for the gate.

Once your horse is comfortable with trotting and cantering over just flat poles, SLOWLY start raising them up. Raise up just one side first and trot him over them several time. Then go to a small crossrail (18")

Eventually he will get used to what he's supposed to be doing. It's not something that should be done in 1 day. It's going to take some work, but it will pay off in the end. Hope all goes well! I am in the process of teaching my 3 year old gelding to jump also!

Hi, you'd be best off re-starting your horse on a long line - lunge. You do need to know what you are doing but you can learn by reading up on the technique. It will be easier to teach the horse to jump safely this way. You need to be careful if you try to walk your horse over even a little jump. You could be thrown off by a huge jump - horses are very capable of leaping huge heights from halt or walk. I would suggest you get help from someone more experienced.

Good luck

you can pretty much teach any horse to jump as long as they dont have a physical disability. So sorry to hear about the abuse (this happened to my horse too and left her with a bad leg, she cant jump due to this)

you could either get a professional trainer or try yourself. What i would do is just start from teh bottom. Lead him over some poles or cavilletes. Once hes used to that, get on him and do it. work your way higher and faster and eventually he will learn

before you start training him with a trainer or by yourself, get a vet to look over him to make sure his body can physically do it.

good luck <33

YES YOU CAN TEACH HIM! Just as he is relearning the basics, I would say no to jump rite now. Once he gets the basics of walk trot and canter under controll again, then you can try a relesson on jumps!

start with tiny little requests - a piece of string laid on the ground, then a twig, then a stick, then a pole, then a log.......get the idea? Walk him over each one until he's really bored. then move up an increment and start again. Take him over in both directions and around it. let him see it from all angles and learn that there's no threat. Remenber that horses thing everything new or strange is a potential predator. He needs to trust you so don't do anything to freak him and definitely don't bully him. You could try leaving lots of poles in his field so he gets used to them in his own time.

(plz learn to spell too ;-( )

you can do it if you keep trying. start off with just a pole laying on the ground and do it on the ground with a lead rope. over and over. then try it on him. when he has that down, try him on the lowest jump. again start from the ground and then do it on him, eventually he will get it. thats how i taught mine. good luck.

Listen to that chick named Jumper. She knows what she is talking about!

u have a really good point of what u mean. maby the horse needs to learn it or it feels shy to do it. i can't really think of other reasons

Don't force him, he could break a leg and die. Do not overwork him or worry about how high he jumps. Have a horse trainer help before you do anything radical/rash
