What are all the basic horse jumps called?
I would like a list of all the basic horse jumps and a description to go with each one. Pictures would also be nice :)

Vertical is your most typical. Link to picture: https://www.nextdayjumps.com/sites/default/files/p...
You then also have your oxer. It's basically the vertical, but with one right after the other. So just picture a vertical jump in front of the other. This is used to make the jump bigger.
Getting more advanced you have your triple bar. It's just like your oxer, but with three verticals. Picture: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YWvqBfiYL....
Then you have the hogsback. It's basically the same as the triple bar but the middle bar is higher than the first and third.
Then there's the table jump (you literally jump over a table), a ditch jump (there's a ditch between you and the obstacle, which you have to clear both), a drop fence (it's where after you jump over the bars there's a large drop you have to land in), and the finally your combination jump. It can basically be any of those I listed, but in a row. You have to be able to clear all of them.
That's all I know. But the first four tend to be the most common. I am sure someone can correct me. I am more of a barrel racer.

Wikipedia has a great article, complete with pictures of many, many different varieties: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_jumping_obstacl...
Or if you just want show jumping jumps: http://www.localriding.com/showjump-types.html
There are far too many types of jumps to give a complete answer here, so I recommend these links instead.

They're pretty much right, but you forgot the cross jump. A crops jump is just two poles crossed.
