making the horse like show jumping poles

Question
hello, i think few horses are scared of show jumping poles and fences. then, how to make them like it? my main aim is to make the horse turn eager to jump over a fence clearing off with confidence and excitement.

Answer
It is the trainers fault if a horse is afraid of poles and fences.

It means that he was rushed, abused, or ridden badly over  fences.

If you find a horse like this you must reschool him, starting with ground poles until he is confident with them, and then very low cross rails, etc.

You have to work on your independent seat on the flat and be a good rider before you should ever jump....otherwise the horse suffers for it.

Again, try to buy the book I recommended about Showjumping.

Riders have to be very balanced over a fence. The worst sin to commit is to pull a horse in the mouth over a fence.
