My horse gets very excited jumping, I am not an experienced rider, I would't classify my self as a beginner maybe a novice-intermediate. He is fine the first time we go over the jump but as soon as we do it again he takes off on me, it is nearly like a bolt. Lately I have been working on loads of flat work and doing tiny jumps maybe 20-50cm every now and then but he just knocks my confidence when he rushes. At pony club when we do cross country I get so scared that he is going to bolt on me and most of the time he does, he also does these weird rear jumps if I try and hold him back before a jump. Anything I try doesnt work. Do you have any tips to stop him bolting at jumps and rearing before jumps? Also I have tried lunging before riding and he just ends up more excited. He gets excited as soon as we start cantering or jumping. Please help I have tried EVERYTHING!

I agree with Amelia as one of mine horses was like this and letting him get all his energy out helped him settle. But you need confidence to just let them go so i would like to add RIDER CONFIDENCE!!!. Your nervous makes horse nervous so horse will want to flight as flight animals which is bolt. Don’t do anything that makes you nervous, build your confidence slowly and together, let the horse know your boundaries, within your boundries the horse is safe so doesn’t have to flee. I reckon you’re nervous and you dont trust the horse or yourself but TRUST yourself, your inner voice and the horse can hear you. Hope things have improved a year later! Bless

I'm a professional showjumper myself and i can say from experience Angelo is 100% right in his approach.
But he is forgetting a very important part and that part is the major reason horses start stopping. That part is that the rider is putting the horse on impossible distances. Because from nature a horse is very willing and therefore he or she will try to take off too far away from the jump. Most of the time the rider is then hanging in the mouth of the horse during the jump because he or she didn't see that coming before it' was too late.
After a while the horse won't try that taking off from large distance anymore so he will put in an extra short stride. But same again, that also doesn't work well because most of the time the horse comes too close to the fence and has no other option than to jump the rails down. These poles weigh 25 kg at least so that for sure doesn't feel nice.
Than comes the last fase, the horse doesn't do it at all anymore because he remembers the "punishment" for jumping.
And in 90% of the cases the horse will be blamed for it.
