Rabbit show jumping (Swedish: Kaninhoppning[1]), also known as rabbit agility[2] or rabbit hopping,[3] is an animal sport where the animals 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]
