Rabbit show jumping (Swedish: Kaninhoppning[1]), also known as rabbit agility[2] or rabbit hopping,[3] is an animal sport wherein domestic rabbits are led through a course by their owners,[4] modelled after horse show jumping.[5][6] It is typically conducted in a closed, indoor arena, with obstacles scaled to suit the rabbits. Competitions have been held in the United States[3] and several European countries.[2] As rabbits are common domestic pets, some owners train their pet rabbits for this sport.[2]

Denna period kommer den tävlingsansvariga för att berätta innan första start.
Ekipagen får först starta när domaren sagt ``Varsågod´´ och tiden startar först när kaninen har hoppat över starthindret och stoppas när kaninen hoppar över målhindret.

The sport originates from Sweden in the late ’s, when the first rabbit club started having competitions in rabbit jumping. At the very beginning, the rules of rabbit jumping where based on those of horse show jumping. Over time, the rules have changed and been adapted to better suit rabbits.
