 Horses used for jumping must be trained to jump — this requires 6 to 8 weeks of daily activity and practice.  A jumping horse must have a [[Horse Breeding (sage ability)#Pedigree|robustness of 14 and a courage of 16]].  Any trained "jumper" can manage an obstacle up to three feet high or three feet wide without upset.  Obstacles up to 4 ft. high are possible for a heavy horse, 5 ft. for a medium horse and 6 ft. for a light horse — but jumps this high demand coordination by both the rider and the horse.
-To make a jump, a horse must be ridden at [[Horse Gaits|a canter or a gallop]].  This isn't due to the speed of the horse, but because the horse must put on foot first in order to make the jump.

+==== Bouncing ====
-If, however, the rider is upon a horse trained for jumping, then it is judged that the rider can jump an ordinary fence, either of wood or stone. That is, a fence that is no more than a hand-span wide and no more than mid-drift on an ordinary man, a maximum of about four feet. It is judged that the rider cannot perform a "bounce," which is jumping two fences that are less than 15 feet apart (three strides).
+See [[Horse Jumping II (sage ability)]]
-It is also judged that the rider can jump over a ditch that is up to five feet wide (1 [[Combat Hex|combat hex]]), without a refusal from the horse, so long as the ditch does not occur in combination with a fence.

−	In order to jump a horse, the horse must be ridden at a canter or a gallop. This is not due to the speed of the horse but due to the horse advancing one foot first as part of the [[Horse Gaits\|horse's gait]].
