Training a horse to jump

[AlessaPapa]

Hello again!
I am going to buy a horse but the ones that suit my needs don't jump because the are used for hacking.So,is it difficult to train a horse to jump?How do I start?

Thanks for the help!

Do you have an instructor?

It's not difficult to teach a horse to jump -some are naturally better at it than others.

It's very easy to frighten/put off a horse from jumping if the handler is inexperienced. I would suggest that you get someone else to help you who has more experience in teaching horses to jump than you do.

Have you been taught how to jump correctly? If not you do need to learn. This will also allow you to learn how to set the poles up for your own horse. It really helps having someone on the ground to set the poles for you and pick you up or catch your horse if you fall off.

Yeah I know how to jump
Should I first teach him while lunging?

I would watch these.
Personally I would prefer the first video to the second video as more seemed to be accomplished. What I would say is don't keep doing little jumps, like just off the floor. They are pointless, jumping up to two foot six height is better for a baby gives a better cleaner jump and encourages them to lift their shoulders. Have a helper so you don't have to keep getting off. And don't do too much the first few times, keep sessions short and interesting.

Don't panic if it all goes wrong, just put the fences right down and start from the beginning. Nothing will be accomplished by rushing the process. Twice a week is better.
