Here is a video starting at where my horse was last year, and what she is like now, about a month after recovering from her injury. We've jumped some over the last few weeks, but I don't have the same horse I had pre-injury. As you can see in the video, last season my horse was doing pretty well. She was waiting at fences and we were pretty good at keeping a consistent rhythm. After her injury, we are both pretty rusty. And since we have started jumping, she has been really bad about rushing fences. I feel like I have to hang on her mouth to keep her from running at the fences. That is why we're going back to the cross rail in the schooling at a slow trot. And why I bring her back to the trot before every fence. At the end of the schooling video (the part from this year), you can see her getting upset at the fact that I am holding her back. The majority of the video is a lesson I took on 5/28 working on her rushing. The instructor told me I need to work more to hold her with my body. Anyway, I am wondering what your thoughts are and what exercises we should do to get her back to the horse she was at the beginning of the video.
