The invention relates to a jump for horses. The jump consists of two uprights, positioned some distance apart, between which one or more bars extend. With this arrangement one of the bars extending between the uprights is a base bar, the uprights being fixed to the ends thereof. The jump also comprises a drop-down part which is or can be hingeably fixed with respect to the base bar by means of hinges, and retaining means by means of which the drop-down part can be held in an upright position in a plane spanned by the uprights. However, the retaining means allow the drop-down part to drop down if a horse jumps into the drop-down part and/or runs into the latter and/or touches said drop-down part when jumping. The drop-down part is preferably provided, in the middle thereof, with a grip component by means of which a user can lift the jump in order to move it. With this arrangement the force exerted by the retaining means on the drop-down part in order to hold the latter in its upright position will then be sufficient to hold said drop-down part in a fixed position with respect to the uprights during lifting.
