Do circles in front of the fence, both directions, & only sometimes go & actually jump it. Jump from trot & sometimes ask for halt on the way in. She needs to learn not to anticipate but to listen to you!!

I did an Ollie Townend Clinic recently and Millie decided it was a good day to start rushing her fences-thanks Millie lol He got me to do what NMH suggested. Approach the fence and if they are rushing, circle, and keep circling, and only when they are relaxed allow them to jump the fence. However some trainers think you should never turn your horse away from the fence on the approach to it-trying to think which rider was against it, will rack my brains...that should take a while!

George Morris!! Never turn off a jump with him in sight. I lost my stirrup so I turned off. Got an absolute tuning up for that one!!

But in this case circling can help. Lol

My pony has this problem and my instructor had me jumping a small fence then stopping as soon as i could after the jump, but then i soon realised that my pony started getting into the habit of stopping after each fence so i changed it and only stopped after the fence every now and again, and i found that it does help.. But thats only for if a horse rushes after a fence :)

walk up towards the jump, patting on the neck and talking calmly let her trot or canter a few strides and over the jump then half after. works wonders :)
