I rode a really nice jumper, tall , strong, bold and never refused. In 1989 I got invited to run an endurance race held locally and decided to give it a try. I won best condition that day and promptly sold my jumper since she is not suited to that discipline and have been into arabs ever since.
If you want to jump and your horse is not suited to it then buy something that is. There are lots of good people out there for your horse and you can give another horse a great home.
I had a gorgous tall grey young arab gelding, a nice horse but he lacked the competitive I need/ wanted for endurance so I sold him to pull a carriage for wedding parties.
Loved the horse but he didn't have the heart.
