1. Olympic or professional show jumping horse breeds?

Yes, it IS possible for ANY talented horse of any breed to make it to the big time. Movement, temperment, conformation, training, talent and HEART all play an important role in how successful any horse becomes in any given discipline. Taller horses would have some advantage over a smaller one when attempting very high jumps, but I have seen small Arabians with LOTS of HEART jump higher, faster, and wider. Does not seen possible somehow, does it?

2. What do you wear for Clear Round Show Jumping?

Yeah just wear what you normally wear, it's just basically going out and having a pop over some jumps - no need to look smart.

Anyway... that's only with racing, I think, the weight limit. But in racing it's only because the shorter you are, the more streamlined you are, the faster the horse can go because you are light

10. How to stop being nervous while show jumping?

Usually you grow out of this threw show experience. I remember I had to go on a diet last summer because I would get so nervous and my parents were not there so I would buy A LOT of food before I went in! But I was still nervous in the ring. I know you tell yourself not to be nervous, but then another half of you is telling you to be. Take deep breaths. And remember, you are at a horse show. Not something between life and death. I always go into the ring saying "What is the worst that could happen?" "It's just a horse show, so what if I do not do great!" And I got Grand Champion for year-end awards! Also you have to remember your horse looks for you for comfort. Imagine yourself as a parent to a horse. Because if you get scared at something, so are they. And if you really relax like I do, judges really really like to see that. But relaxed is NOT the same thing as being lazy so make sure you still ride your horse. Also, you may have a confidence problem. Ask your trainer if they have any "confidence builders" for you to ride for a while
