Answer
Hard question to answer....

Geortge Morris says it in not so much innate ability but perisitence and dedication.

It takes YEARS of riding to become a GOOD show jumping rider. You want to be able to benefit the horse.

Start with small fences just as a horse does, and you need to be lunged on a horse, no reins and no stirrups, for many, may hours to develop an independent seat. The knowledge of your instructor and his/her experience is of paramount importance.

No one is perfect. if you are riding schooled horses who will teach you, it is easier.
