Showjumping or Stadium Jumping is a discipline in English riding. I hope you will learn a little from these types of jumps.
Vertical- It is a simply a straight pole, it can be one pole or multiple under one another. They are the most common.
Wall Jump- Wall jumps are sometimes made to look like brick walls but actually the 'bricks' that make up the wall are light weight and fall easily and cause no damage to the horses legs if they hit the wall.
Oxer Jump- It has two verticals placed close together making one whole jump that is wider. The oxer can also be called a spread.
There are also many diffferent types of oxer jumps-
Square oxer- both top poles are the same height.
Ascending oxer- furthest pole is higher then the first.
Descending oxer- furthest pole is lower then the first pole.
Swedish oxer- poles slant in opposite direction and look like the are an 'x'.

Hog's back- poles are placed unevenly, for example the middle pole(s) can be the highest
Fan jump- the rails on the side are spread out making them look like a fan from above.
Triple bar jump- has three poles placed close together making them a wider oxer jump.
has three poles placed close together making them a wider oxer jump.
Filler jump- It has a solid bottom, usually below the poles.
Open water- a ditch of water can be in front or behind a jump, like a vertical.
Liverpool- a liverpool is just any jump like a vertical which has a pool of water directly under the jump.
