Please make clear to me what loving of jump...?
Could someone please tell me (or get a link) of what kind of jump there are? Like those that are used for schooling? I know there's Xs and full block verticals. Could you please get a picture of it, tell how high-ranking it is, and the name? And maybe the pros and cons? Thanks.
Um.. look within a book?
Books are an excellent source of information of all things equine. And I'm sure there's a library near where on earth you live.
there r heaps types, here r some common ones
-cross rail(a simple jump usually used by beginners)http://farm1.static.flickr.com/51/149591...
-vertical(upright) http://www.mudhotline.com/la/jump2.jpg
-oxer.abundant different kinds
.square oxer(both top poles r the same height) http://showrider.com/showrider/randall%2...
.ascending oxer(first pole is shorter than the second) http://www.showjumpsrus.co.uk/usrimage/d...

.swedish oxer(kinda like a cross banister but spread) http://eyebright.sslnetworks.org/~christ...

Answers: There are two basic types of jump: Verticals and Spreads...
Verticals are pretty straight forward, there is no width element (uses solely one standard). However, these are often the trickiest for the horse to judge and jump, particularly when they get higher (around 3'6'' and up) and when they don't have a "filler" (nothing within between the pole and the ground).
This is a very "airy" vertical: http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q191/...
and this is a vertical with a filler: http://inlinethumb49.webshots.com/6000/1...
There are also walls, which are usually pretty glorious and are intimidating because they look so solid: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/38/789908...
The second type of jumps is the spread... Spreads always enjoy a width element, and there are seriously of types of spreads. They are usually just called "oxers."
Types of spreads/oxers:
Ascending oxer (staircase): Two poles, the put money on one higher than the first: http://equusluminous.com/blog/media/apac...
Parallel oxer: Two poles, both as the same height: http://www.lakeplacidhorseshow.com/image...
Triple Bar: Three poles, adjectives ascending: http://www.aivly.com/shop/images/thumbs/...
Hog back: Three poles, first and third at same height but the middle (second) pole is higher (tallest pole is the center of jump).
Square Oxer: similar to a paraller oxer, apart from it's height and width are the same (they catch to be big!): http://showrider.com/showrider/randall%2...
Swedish oxer (cross oxer): It's like a cross-rail up in the air (the two poles are alike height in the exact middle where they cross): http://www.jeremysranch.com/Photos/Jerem...
Then here are liverpool/water jumps: Sometimes they don't have poles over them and is just a ditch surrounded by the ground you have to jump over, sometimes they have for a moment brush (http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0ep4... and sometimes they have an oxer or a vertical built over them(http://www.sebastiansproducts.com/blueju...

Then there's cross-rails, which are mostly used in training, and of course combinations, where on earth jumps are "linked together" with no strides, one stride, two strides, or three strides contained by between.
All these jumps require different "jumps" from the horse: verticals need a high, springy rear, while oxers require a long, powerful jump.
These jumps are ALL great for training, and can be extremely helpful surrounded by teaching your horse to jump better.
