What is Show Jumping?

Show jumping is a timed English riding discipline where horse-and-rider pairs tackle a preset course of varied obstacles. Penalties accrue for knockdowns, refusals, or exceeding the time allowed. The sport features both individual and team formats at international levels under the FEI. Unlike eventing, it focuses solely on jumping, excluding dressage and steeplechase phases.
