My Horse is a very keen jumper, but she rushes the jumps. It drives me crazy because it makes it more difficult to jump a course. I've tried circling before the jumps, and half halting. All her tack fits fine, and her teeth have also been checked. I've heard that I have to go right back to basics, with trotting poles. Would you agree? Thanks. Laura

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS ARTICLE!!!! Two of my horses use to always rush at jumps. I did exactly what the article said and I got great results.

I'd like to add one very important concept that I believe would really help a horse and rider throughout a course-BREATH. Say your tack fits the horse, there's no physical problems, he 's just rushing a bit, part of it could be the rider, anticipating the horse to rush, so the rider gets anxious and many people hold their breath.(Yes, the horse can sense the rise and fall of the diaphram when you breath, when you don't, you become stiff and rigid throughought your muscles and the horse gets anxious because he doesn't know why you are so tense in your body.) BREATH to calm yourself-and in turn-your horse will become calmer too, knowing that his rider is SECURE and CONFIDENT about the approach.
