障碍超越 为马术三项赛中的其中一项，于1866年，巴黎举行首届格兰披治障碍超越赛，于1900年则确认为奥运会项目。骑手和马匹要求在35公尺乘60公尺、45米乘70米或70米乘90米的场地中，按规定路线，于90秒内顺序跳过10至13个的障碍，包括垂直障碍、伸展障碍、水障、双重组合障碍及三重组合障碍。通常比赛两回合，以罚分方式进行，踢掉一道障碍物扣4分、马匹第一次不服从指令扣4分、超时每秒扣一分，另外，马匹第二次不服从指令则会被淘汰。最少罚分者为胜利，如果同分则需要进行决赛，决赛仍然同分则以时间快慢作胜负。

Show Jumping, also known as "stadium jumping", "open jumping", or simply "jumping", is a part of a group of English riding equestrian events that also includes dressage, eventing, hunters, and equitation. Jumping classes are commonly seen at horse shows throughout the world, including the Olympics. Sometimes shows are limited exclusively to jumpers, sometimes jumper classes are offered in conjunction with other English-style events, and sometimes show jumping is but one division of very large, all-breed competitions that include a very wide variety of disciplines. Jumping classes may be governed by various national horse show sanctioning organizations, such as the United States Equestrian Federation in the USA or the British Showjumping Association in Great Britain. International competitions are governed by the rules of the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI, from the body's French name of Fédération Équestre Internationale).
