Yes, it is possible to buy the jump boost from the boost shop, but that only lasts for the original run. If you continue the race with diamonds to reach longer distances, the boost will not apply anymore. The fences (most notably in Australia and Japan) get a lot higher the longer you run, so once you reach distances such as 3000m, your horse needs better jump skills than for example bronze level, or you will hit fences constantly.

The jump skill also affects the speed of the horse in Horse Racing. A horse with all three basic skills at diamond level is quicker than one with lower jump skill.
