Show jumping - obstacles

So... in show jumping we jump above obstacles... There are many types of them so I'll write only about some basic obstacles...



•Vertical - a jump that consists of poles right above each other with no spread, or width, to jump.



Oxer - Basically two verticals close together, to make the jump wider. Also called a spread.





Wall - This type of jump is usually made to look like a brick wall, but the "bricks" are constructed of a lightweight material and fall easily when knocked.



Triple Bar - Is a spread fence using three elements of graduating
heights. It is a relatively easy jump although usually very wide.




Combination - usually 2 or 3 jumps in a row, with no more than 2
strides between each. 2 jumps in a row are called double combinations, and 3 jumps in a row are triple combinations.
