Today on Evention we demonstrate how to school your horse over various jumps. This tutorial helps to teach inexperienced horses and riders how to slow your approach and take the jump with ease. We also have a new Evention Tip of the Day, and stayed tuned to the very end of this weeks's episode for an important message. Good Riding Mates.
In the comments below, gives us your thoughts and share with others this brand new series.

So I set this up. She galloped at it, stopped when she realized there was a pole, leapt from a standstill over the pole and the jump, and proceeds to trip over the last pole. We’re making progress.
my horse doesnt even only rush fences. she just rushes. every cue is a canter cue to her
+blackjack21 My horse has a serious anticipation problem, if he loses his mind a little bit after i've cantered him I just trot him around and work on circles/figure eights/etc and also ask him for a soft feel (drop his head) to keep his attention on me. Not until he settles and responds to my seat do I let him walk.
Extending The Trot That certainly works with Penny, but it's after almost every jump or canter. She's only five, so it doesn't really surprise me that she's this hot, but it gets exhausting to spend ten minutes calming her down after 30 seconds of jumping. Usually I wouldn't complain about exhaustion, but exhaustion leads to frustration which leads to Penny acting up even more. She's... A lot of work, for just one little Mustang. =/
I know exactly how you feel!! My horse goes into this crazy forward trot after I bring him down from a canter no matter what. It's so uncomfortable and time consuming to deal with this every time! I haven't even attempted a jump with him in forever! Lol
That's exactly what Penny does!
blackjack21 is
I trıed trottıng a small jump, she galloped.
That's not good
Same my pony bolts to a small jump and when she bolts she does not stop so I had to ran her into the wall just to holt
Same but he went into a super fast canter and suddenly stopped. Luckily he's quite small so I was fine
Same... same
Same when is a small jump my pony bolts at it and when the jump gets higher he gets lazy

Remember that when circling, you have 4 points to work. Your inside hand, outside hand, inside leg, and outside leg.
The inside leg : Creates the bend
Outside hand: Keeps the pace
Inside leg: Pushes the horse out, so he's bending through the ribs
Outside leg: Stops the hindquarters swinging out.
Also, make sure you are looking round the circle, you shoulders turned lightly to the inside, and you hips straight. Ideally you will be able to see the horses inside eye round the bend.
Also remember that a circle has no straight sides, it's all curved.
My last tip is to place poles around a circle, so you have a rough guide, and the poles will help keep the horses pace! Hope I helped xxx
thats an amazing arena!!
Her stirrups r uneven and its rlly annoying me 🙄
zoe goodhand omg same
zoe goodhand Same, and her heels are never down
zoe goodhand me tooo
Ikr
Lmao that’s the first thing I noticed too and was like how much can you know if your stirrups are that uneven 😂
I have a question. could you make a video of how to get a stressed horse relaxed when trotting/cantering? If we go in circkles, she tries to run off it. She aslso just goes faster and faster -.- please help me. its a 132 icelandic
I've been riding a local yards mare for a month now within the first few weeks riding I realised how much she rushes head first into jumps, I saw this video, and decided to try it with her, after a few times doing this exercise I found my by using my voice more with this helped a lot, she now waits in walk until I ask for trot into the jump and waits in trot u til I ask for canter into the jump, this exercise has helped so much in furthering mine and her riding! Thank you evention!
This is very helpful! My horse tends to rush anything under about three foot, which can be very aggravating when I am trying to warm up!
That's not rushing- come see my ex racehorse.. now that is rushing
We have a ex race horse who has been on box rest for almost 6 months and trust me when she's back in work she's gonna be off
Ffion Lewis sane haha
Same that’s why I’m here 😂
Ffion Lewis sammmeeeeeee. When I first got him, he was 16 and was still like half green. After 3 years he’s actually a decent hunter but he still has his rushing momenta
Lol I have an ex barrel pony so he gallops and bolts at most jumps it’s horrible
Hi evention! Thankyou for posting these excercise a I used all three helping to re school a 13yr old very forward going pony who has been worrying her young rider by rushing and launching at fences and it's going to take time but she really started to work well with these/ grids. Thankyou xx
I havent tried the first two exercises, but the figure of eight excersise works like a dream. My horse is extremely forward and she has to go fast everywhere thats her only pace. At the moment she is running on 62 acres full of green grass, so she is full of energy. I am slowly getting her back into work, and i have put up a paddock fence to limit her feed and running space. This will give me time to actually make a difference when i work her. I tried this figure of eight excersise just yesterday. I believe that this workout will only work with several half halts and diagonal changes, as you come from the outside of the circle to the inside. Thankyou evention TV i really appreciate your tips.
your videos are one of the best one could find on the internet! Thanx from Iran. :)
omg thank you I'm kinda scared to jump with my pony bc she rushes so badly. And if I stop jumping it would be a shame bc we both enjoy it and she got real talent!
Tried this exercise last night. Great results. I have and ex barrel horse that gets extremely hot. We actually maintained a civilized demeanour! I believe the halting exercise at the beginning helped. We only did up to cantering the cross rail. Wanted to end on a good note as he was sooo super! Will make it a vertical next time and do the cavelleti. Thank you.
This will definitely help with my thoroughbred!
this will really help me a lot with one of our horses at my barn. Thank you!
What should I do with a horse that jumps over trot poles? We tried the takeoff and landing poles and it turned into a bounce line.
Just keep walking your horse over it until they don't jump it... Then go to the trot and keep doing it until he/she doesn't jump it anymore... Then keep repeating
Just2EquestrianGirls Thanks. :)
Do trot poles before you set up a jump, but yeah walk over them at first then get into trot
Probably needs a standing martingale, but if you don’t wanna use one, keep light pressure with both hands and legs
Rachel Hedderman here are some other ways to stop rushing fences.hope they work
* the horse is speeding up anticipating the jump. Trot up to a tiny cross rail, and a stride or 2 before pull them sideways out of the jump. It’s not refusing the jump because refusals are different, this time your telling the horse to do it and it’s your plan.
*trot up the jump(and make sure they are tiny ones)and pull them to a halt in front of the jump( once again trying to stop the anticipation. The horse will now know that there’s other ways to head to jump and will be prepared for others , kinda like opening a door of different types of thinking into the horse, this could conclude to having sloppy, and unprepared jumps, and may not be a long term solution. ) do this a couple more times ,after the horse has opened into other types of thinking he will head to the jump anticipating the stop or turn, not the jump. Then you will head to it again and jump over it. Mix it up sometimes just so that he won’t be anticipating one or the other so much.
I loved your video it helped alot. I also try courses with narrow jumps and he doesnt rush anymore
Thank u so much for sharing this my horse rushes into jumps I will definitely try this to see if it works for her thank u so much
well my horse likes to jump both fence and pole as one... help?
Rennie Rules 100 You probably need to move the pole back a bit. Ive seen horses do that and what I suggested usually helps! Happy Jumping (:
Brittany Marie Thank you, i'll try that :)
Rennie Rules 100 same😂
Keira Haggerty add more poles
Lol😩
Whats the best way to deal with a horse that rushes everything walk trot etc. She is very hyper and i have tried lunging her good but doesnt seem to work seems the more i work her the hyper she gets !
I'm not an expert in any way but what helps me with my pony is trying to really loosen myself up and sit really deep in my seat while circling and half halting when needed to slow him down. Again I'm not an expert in any way and idk what you've been doing but it helps me to do this ^_^
i have just been pulling back really hard but it does not seem to faze her in anyway she just goes faster so i think next time i am working with her i will try this ! thank you :D
yeah np! In my experience, the more you pull the faster they go so you really want to move away from using that as your main way of slowing them ^-^
once again i am not an expert in a way but what helps my horse is when you have lunged him walk trot canter make him
go backwards even when you are in the saddle example if u are in the middle of a jumping course make him go backwards
but when he is doing what u ask him to do give him some *rain?? sry i don't know how to spell rain so if you don't give him some
rain he will just stronger and he will get a bad
mouth even if is is for 2 seconds give him **rain** if not do small circles and try it again so interrupt him in every thing that
ur doing often if not idk *_* hope it works THING BACKWARDS don't worry it will take time
Kinsey Sage half holt and relax
Thank you so much you helped me a lot i had a juming comp in a week and my horse started rushing lucky i fixed it thanks to this video
Omg when warming up I thought he was wearing an inflated air jacket! 😂 great video!!
thank you for this video becouse my horse is soo far into this rushing thing that its braking me, i really love this video with all these tips to help my boy focus and slow down.
thank you this worked for me my horse is good but rushes at the jumps and he jumps super high even over a little pole and little jump thank you
Thank you soooo much! I'm going to use this to my horse. I'm sure that this will help me!
A VERY GOOD exercise, works very well!
had this problem just the other day on a young mare I ride. She is naturally a very fast and forward mover and likes to rush through everything, whether its a simple pure flatwork ride or jumps and ground poles, the turning exercise worked wonders to help her stay balanced and calm. They were decent before but with the circles and turns beforehand she and I were able to do very well and be extremely accurate with the task because her forward energy and nature was channeled into keeping her balance and maintaining bend around the turn, not just into pure speed. Also changing things up helped a lot as well, by constantly changing things she couldn't anticipate and rush, she had to wait to figure out what was coming. Found it ironic I found this video the day after I did the same exact thing.
Were is your stables its so nice thanks the info really helps
I used to go on this pony and he would rush jumps so bad but I went on this horse and I was just expecting her to rush it but she didn’t she’s a gem 💎
you people are so helpful with my horse by telling me these things to do with him! and what country are you in?
thank you so much for this video!! Im so excited to tgry these on my horse!!
+Evention TV my medium sized pony is rushing through the the diagonal and my idea is that when I am flatting her I put rails down and then cater and then try to halt. What do you think?
I just posted this but will post here so you see. :)
My horse rushed jumps when his saddle didn't fit correctly, poor chap was probably like "Lets get this over with". Now his saddle fits he's perfect and loves it!
Do you have a video about the ground work needed for a youngster before jumping please and then how to incorporate jumping? Thanks
Could you guys do a demonstration on how to feel more confident going into a combination.
Does anyone have any tips on memorizing a jumpers course?
Do you have any more tips my horse is a arab/quarter horse he used to be a barrel horse and now he just wants to run all the time and i have had him about a year now and i have tried this exercise before and it helped a little bit but every time i do a grid or something he just runs through it and i try to have a soft contact but then he tries to run but if i keep much contact on him he acts like he is going to rear so i dont know
I have a question at my riding school we have riding comps and me and my friend want to rid the same horse so when should I go first or second????
Anyone have advise for a horse learning to jump, hes a quarter horse and he’s already getting better but he’s always second guessing and I want him to be able to jump a good height later but I don’t know if he will be able to do it
Hi, my horse roulette always misses strides because she is soooo strong and speedy do u have any suggestions? Btw amazing video
I have used all of these methods and they work for me
Hello im hoping I could get some advice, ive just brought a ex racer he is 15 and 16hh he has been trained but all he does is as soon and we trot his head goes right up and trots sideways but he does settle but if im going overoles he has to have head up cantering on the spot yet its just a pole on the ground, also when he canters his head goes up and even though I have a running martingale it seems to have no difference. Xx
I have those same human society gloves and great video btw
thank you your video it is great . thanks for the good work
My pony gets really hyper when she sees a jump or pole and goes galloping towards the jump then runs out just before the jump but hopefully I am gonna try these exercises. any advice for a pony that refuses alot but freaks out after thinking you are gonna smack her?
my horse likes to buck right after jumps, or do the rocking horse while cantering. ways to fix that?
I NEEDED this!! THANK YOUUU
Ty for the great lesson!
Great video. You have a really lovely yard. I am enjoying the videos where you concentrate on the horses but do you think you might be able to make something that would work on the rider, for example I get nervous before a jump and over think things and I know I cant be the only one. So do you think you could make a video on how to correct common rider problems?
I have a horse and when we are doing cross country I never know when she is going to do a long jump or put in an extra stride and I had a bad fall just yesterday because of this how can I realise which one she is going to do please help
im in love with that ring!
What if the horse rushes the poles as well, doesn't look where it's going and as a result ends up running through the jump instead of going over it?
I have a chestnut TB mare, very sensitive mouth, always ridden in a snaffle as will flip over on top of you even with a wilkie or a hanging cheek. I've tried exercises similar to this but she rushes poles too, even when there's no jump involved. In my opinion, i think she now just associates poles with going fast with her nose in the air. I've tried a standing martingale but she flips over in that. I also tried a market harbrough but she's worse in that cos she tries to fight it.
An exercise I use quite often is cantering towards the jump then asking her to stop in front of it, doing this a few times until she assumes we're stopping in front of it. I then ask her to keep going and she jumps it nicely. The only problem with this is that I have to do this with every single different jump I do and I obviously can't do this when we're out competing. She never does any of this behaviour with XC fences as she knows they won't move so she does back off jumping those but I can't just do XC on its own and she's very talented at dressage. I bought her an an eventing prospect because she does have scope and she does have talent on the flat but I'm stuck with her showjumping.
my welsh cob mare is fiery sometimes and trots VERY fast at the jump, how do I stop her?
Thanks will u make one on horses refusing jumps
Hi Dom, can you tell me where your top boots are from in this video? Thanks!
my horse sometimes likes to rush after the fence any help??
It is often helpful to do a check and give. That is were you slowly apply pressure to the bit and then give. Also putting 2 or 3 ground poles after the jump will help the horse collect and hopefully slow down also after the jumps halt in a straight line. If the horse doesn't stop act like you are just gonna let the horse run into the rail (he/she will stop) hope this helps happy jumping ;)
thank you I have tried the stoping after and it was working but the other night someone got involved in my training And he hit the jump with his knees and now he rushes again I'm back to square 1 and he has lost his confidence... I'm not happy about that person getting involved because I never asked them for there help and they where really putting me down and making me feel like shit I hope your idea works I will try it today again thanks xx
+Stacey Kearns I hope this really helps! You can also work on in like a 5/6 stride combination stop right after the first one make him stand and back up (to make sure he has enough room to go on) and do a slow collected trot over the second one and stop again. I have worked with a little mare named Lucy that has the same problem. All horses are different I guess but this really worked for me! I really hope this helps!! Even doing simple exercises like trots poles or having the jumps just ground poles. I have been through this and it is very frustrating so i feel ya. Again happy jumping! Keep confident and you will get it!
Hello, what is the surface of your riding arena?
Can you guys make a video for horses that chip before the fence? Mine used to rush fences and now he’s changed to chipping...
This might help me and my mare, issue is that we have up and down hills and there's no flat spot- in her pasture all she wants to do is go to the gate and it makes it twice as hard.
I'm still kind of new with working with horses and I am trying to get my newest horse to not be scared of jumps. Does anyone have any tips on how to calm him down because I'm out of ideas?
i love their idea of rushing -_-
Nicoletta Pierini ikr

My bloody rushing is full on galloping round
I have tryed all the pole exercises but my youngster she's 5 she is my first pony that was broke when I got her but was only broke in November 2015 she just adores jumping I have broke young horses but never had the problem of a rushing pony so we have had to start turning her away once she locks on (what my instructor who competes a BE novice) I just don't want to do this I feel as if she will start pulling out she is brave as they come but that's good for a workers pony but she needs to slow down a bit has anyone got any suggestions??
anyone help, i have a horse that likes to jump hes around 16hh and likes to go to the jump and will jump it but just lacks the effort going over it feels any ideas i don’t use a crop or spurs as i’ve only had him a little while n wanted to see what he’s like without one? xx
Can u guys make a video on how to teach your horse how to do flying changes? I've been taught how to ask but never how to train them into horses. My old horse was a welsh pony and I was teaching them to him so I asked one of my friends at my barn and she told me to set up poles, ask for the flying over the jump exactly how you would while just doing them in the flat. I did and it worked on him but now I have an OTTB and I've tried that but it just hasn't worked so far. So if you could make a video on how to train them into horses, it would really help me to win more classes in shows and make my life quite a bit easier!
hi i have started riding this x hunter horse its part thurabred and she rushes a lot just around the arena please may you put a video up about how to help this habbit thank you.
What if your horse rushed grids too? Even super complex ones?
What's your opinion on running martingales? Do you think they help or interfere?
I have tried everything to slow my pony down when jumping. No matter whether I walk, trot or canter into the jump, circle before it, if it's only 1 foot or 3 foot, he always gallops/charges the last few strides. I've tried all your exercises but he still rushed the last 3 strides. Any other advice or tips I could try?
My horse Callie has started refusing more often than she usually does and it’s frustrating because I don’t know how to fix this. I think it’s partly my fault because the more she refuses, the more nervous I get and I get more unsure whether she’ll take the next jump so I think she senses that and it makes her want to take the jump even less. She also rushes every jump, no matter if it’s a 2’ xpole or a 3’ oxer and I can’t slow her down, not even by sitting back hard or no matter how hard I pull on the reins or no matter how many half halts I do. It’s gotten to the point where I’m scared of bringing her to shows because I think she’s going to rush the jumps and refuse others and I’m going to get send out of the arena or I’ll fall. What could help me fix this?
I have a pony that like to stop at all of the jumps can you give me some tips
Great video
You always help me alot THANKS!!
I’ve tried this exercise before and my mare still rushes A LOT, and I all my instructors said to not hold her back as she will fight back even more but I don’t know what to do. Help?
My mare is very speedy . I have been trying to just ride on the buckle and talk to her. She has gotten a lot better. I also small circle before a jump and a small circle after.
Do you have video for horses which drop they shoulders please?????
I know I’m late, but my horse rushes when we see jumps, but only when we are going around them, any tips?
Do these comments/questions actually get answered? Wondering if they moved/rolled out the ground rails when they went from trot x to a canter vertical.
If she's speeding towards the jump make a circle or a few circles until she calms down(just make sure to do it back far enough so she won't learn to run out). After the fence immediately bring her back to a halt as soon as you can. You can also put a bunch of trot poles toward a fence.
I ride in a lesson so I don't decided what we do (I don't own the horse) the hoses won't move before the jump but once moving won't stop I'm not a beginner and have been riding for 12 years (since I was 3) another problem I have is that no matter what I do the horse won't stop jumping or not,dose anyone have any advice for me?
great lesson. thanks!!
you guys are cooool you explain things so good :D love your guys horses
What about ones that slow down and then walk over jumps?
I have a pony that hasn't been jumped for 7 years but has recently been brought back into it over the last 5 months. She is a 19 year old 14hh Connie and when jumping she can become extremely strong and rushes towards the fence. This mainly occurs at home. I lost my confidence a few months ago in jumping due to a bad fall and now getting used to honeys jump is really hard in the fact she rushes and is extremely strong. Is there anything u could suggest that I either buy tack wise for her to stop her from being so strong or is there anything else u could suggest that would help slow her up and not lean on the bit
If u could please message me on Facebook or reply to this comment that would be amazing x
After reading all these comments I’m glad to find out I’m not the only one with these problems
Whats the best way to deal wiv a spookey horse my pony cant jump a cross pole wivout spooking its got so bad that when im just trotting around she could just spook and there really nasty😕😕😕please help....
Great video. I'm going to try it with my mare
what is the name of your opening music 😊
i’ve tried similar things like this with my hot headed horse i do a bounce jump then 4 stride bigger jump and it works alot bc hes so hot headed that he bounces towards the jump
I ride an Arab that gets real exited when there is any form of obstacle in the arena. Any suggestions to help?
Hi,
Could someone please help me!!? My mare is soooo bad for rushing that she will catapult herself at the jump and trip over it.... She underestimates the small ones and will slide to a stop and leap the bigger ones... She's a 16.1 hh Thoroughbred and is only 6... She is fresh and we are the first home of hers that she has jumped.... If i do a grid or even just two jumps she will just rush. I'm starting to use this tactic and it seems to be working or though she still rushes a bit. She gets extremely excitable in our jump paddock too. She has jumped up to 1.20 cm. I'm her first child rider and so she thinks she can get away with things, I'm quite a good experienced rider and so I can handle her when she heats up or though I want to start competitively jumping and showing so I would appreciate help.
Please and Thank You
BooBooSummerToo
Worked wonders!!
I've ridden some horses which get very speedy before and after the jumps, they will gallop into and away from a small cross pole if you let them get away with it. We put two poles parellel together on the floor about 3 strides out from the jump like a run way, and we do the same after. What we do is we trot towards the cross pole, stop sqaure between the two poles and then walk 1 stride and ask for trot, the horse pops the jump and will try to bolt away from the fence. We know this will happen
I used to ride a pony called Ginger. He loved to jump! Whenever I'd approach the jump at a trot, he'd take off at a really fast canter. Even when I tried to pull him back, he'd keep going! Hopefully these exercises will help me out a bit! :)
my horse keeps stoping even though im fine and my trainer is getting made at he nit me and i dont know what to do??
I love eventino TV because hey help me with my horse and getting better at rudei5
This is a good video and good advice but it seems as if instead of doing her crest release she is pulling back on the horse's reins...not sure if that was a mistake or what...
Longer stirrup is on the mounting side. Probably the leather has stretched is all.
Wouldn't even notice until it's pointed out to you because it happens gradually
I don’t think this can help me sadly, I own a palomino a Welsh sec C 13.2hh he knows his job as a pure jumper and jumps up to 1.2m.. but his only problem is his speed and though he can control himself and get over it he rushes EXTREMELY fast and my 2 point can’t be spot on for the speed to have to get into it. Please help !!
