Can arabian horses jump?

I am wondering about this because i bought an arabian from abuse a few days ago and as she is getting better, I never knew the answer to this but, can arabian horses jump? How are they jumping? Are they good? Bad?

1. ya i think they can jump, u just have to train them, but im no expert so...
2. It really depends on the individual. how many hands is this horse?? I've ridden for 3 years and in my experience Arabians are good jumpers and super horses to be around! =) good luck with your horse, and keep working with her--practice makes perfect ;)
3. Yes, any horse is capable of jumping if you know how to train them. And yes they can be good at it. An arab is a high spirited horse that has great potential to do just about any thinbg you want it all has to do with the training and handling. I would advise checking with your vet to be sure your horse is in top condition before starting any vigorous exercise.
4. absolutely.. I used to own an Arab.. I showed him in English Pleasure and Park durring summer and rode him over jumps in the winter... he loved it... was pretty good too.. here is a link about something funny/odd/cool.. that happend at a show http://www.sportales.com/Equestrian/Winning-Isnt-Everything-at-a-Horse-Show.76671 they are good... of course they cannot jump as high.. becuase other classes are more prestiguous to ARAB owners not too many go into jumping...
