Equestrian show jumping is a competitive horse riding discipline where horse and rider navigate a course of obstacles, including fences and water jumps. The goal is to complete the course without knocking down any obstacles and within a set time limit. Each jump has a specific height and width, and riders are judged on their ability to maintain control and precision. Competitions can vary in level, from local events to international championships, such as the Olympics. Riders are often categorized by skill level, and points are awarded based on performance. Successful show jumpers require a strong partnership with their horse, as well as excellent timing and strategy.
