Answer:
The highest jump in history is about 8 feet. It usually takes a person 2 - 3 years to get to jumping high, if they have the right horse and trainer. It all depends on your trainer, the height of your horse, how brave you are, how often you ride, etc. I usually jump around 3 - 4 feet regularly . Im 15 and usually jump 3 or 4 days a week and do flatwork (no jumping) 1 day just to give my horse a break. people can jump 5 feet or higher, but they dont do it everyday or it would tear up the horses bones and joints! usually the average rider, not pro. doesnt jump any higher than 5 feet.

average about 4 feet, uncommon to do 5. How long it takes to go high depends for the most part on how athletic your horse is. (and how tall).

Most reasonably fit and trained horses and riders can get up to about three feet. Very serious amateur riders can get up to four feet. Usually only the pros get up to five feet or over. How long it takes to get there depends on your natural talent, number of days a week you can ride, and how seriously you practice. I would estimate two years of serious practice at least to go from beginner to three foot jumper. Epona - I have a hard time believing that you jumped 4'6" cross country jumps bareback when the maximum size at Advanced Level is 4'1".

I am 15 and do about 3ft-3'3. That being said I know of lots of girls my age who do the 4fts. I never really had the funds to expand my riding at an early age(I started when I was 8 and was on school ponies until I was 12). on average I think most teenagers who have been riding a fare amount of time do anywhere from the 3fts-the 4fts(although there are a few who do the 1.40m and they are 15). I guess it really depends though. Im not thinking clearly today so I hope this made sense!

My horse would easliy jump 4'6" cross country fences for me (bareback and without a bridle -- wearing just a halter/headcollar with leads attached!). He was about 16.0 h.h. and I was a foolish teenager! How long does it take? No easy answer. It depends on the person and the horse they are riding. Some people don't jump their horse higher than 3'6" or 4' tops, no matter how long they ride. Depends how brave (or foolhardy) the person is.

the average horse can jump up to 3 feet. Jumping really high depends on your trainer, you, and your horse. Lots of people can jump 5 feet or over....and lots cant (me for example:))

Unofficial" World Record Jump: A visitor wrote in to tell us that the "unofficial" world record jump is 8ft, 3 1/2 inches, jumped by Fred (Freddie) Wettach, Jr. riding his horse King's Own. They jumped in front of 25 people with motion picture photographers capturing the occasion. The record was not considered official because it was not made in front of a public gathering. http://www.ultimatehorsesite.com/info/worldrecord_jump.html Show jumping courses include combination fences, sharp turns and several changes of direction, all requiring adjustability and athleticism. Jumper fences start as low as 3" and go up to as high as 5-5'6" in Grand Prix show jumping. Puissance classes go to 7-7'6". http://www.ushorse.biz/show-horse-jumping.htm How long it takes to get there will depend on horse size, breed, training, AND the rider's confidence level and how much they trust their horse.
