I am a jumper and this was very very helpful.
Thanks so much!
Couldn’t I also try cavilletes with my horse? To get them used to a proper stride length feel that would help with rushing a jump?

Good article.
My mare used to want to rush also, what I did was set up a ground pole 9ft away from a small vertical and then another ground pole on the other side 9ft away. This was very helpful to me. She learned very quickly.

I am not a jumper, expect over a few fallen trees, and I was curious about this, because I like to watch show and cross country jumping on tv. It was written well and I understand it. Thanks for the article.
