Jumpers need a lot of help on the front and hind to support a huge launch and landing. We are not looking so much at a type of movement, but more the ability of the horse and rider to get around the course. A farrier needs to consider proper support and traction.
My jumper clients tend to like fairly heavy toe clipped front shoes and equally thick but slightly more narrow webbed quarter clipped hind shoes. All shoes for jumpers are drilled and tapped.

Lateral support
Studies show that properly applied lateral support can greatly reduce the need for hock injections.
