  1. a fence!!!!!!!!!! Duh!!!!!


  2. a fence, a jump, an obsatcle.DER

  3. Horses jump a myriad of 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.

    - Square Oxer: Both top poles are of an equal height.

    - Ascending Oxer (usually called a Ramped Oxer): The furthest pole is higher than the first.

    - Descending Oxer (usually called an Offset Oxer): The furthest pole is lower than the closest.

    - Swedish Oxer: The poles slant in opposite directions, so that they appear to form an "X" shape when seen head on.

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

    Crossrail- not commonly used in sanctioned horse shows, two poles crossed on jump standards so that the center is lower than the sides. Used at small shows and for schooling purposes to help the horse jump in the center of the fence.

    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.

    Hogsback - A type of jump where the tallest pole is in the center.

    Filler - This is not a type of fence but is a solid part below the poles, such as flower boxes or a rolltop. It can also be a gate.

    Combination - any number of jumps in a row, with a certain number of strides in between.

    Fan: the rails on one side of the fence are spread out by standards, making the fence take the shape of a fan when viewed from above.

    Open water: a wide ditch of water

    Liverpool: a ditch or large tray of water under a vertical or oxer

    Joker - a tricky fence comprising only a rustic (or unpainted) rail and two wings. The lack of filler makes it difficult for a horse to judge their proximity to the fence as well as the fence's height, making it a tricky obstacle usually found only in the upper divisions, and illegal in some competitions.
