Show jumping horses

[Bullseye99]

What are the best breeds of horses that can jump high and quick? Or cross breeds?
Thanks

No hard and fast rule - utterly depends on the horse. I used to win Chase Me Charlies on a Haflinger x Welsh, which to some might be considered a very odd combination!

Connemara's - not many grown much higher then 16.0hh though so depends what size horse you would like.

An Ex Chasing or hurdler probably a French one as they are not full TB

There are studbook rankings for breed performance in showjumping, eventing and dressage here http://www.wbfsh.org/GB/Rankings/Horse and studbook rankings/2014.aspx

Obviously if you want something to run at top speed and jump (ie racing) the thoroughbred is absolutely undisputed master.

My friend had a gypsy cob that won scope (pony of the year) not bred for jumping. It's not just the breed its the rider, schooling, experience etc
