Re: Jumping Problem...
There could be several reasons for this, she could be over-cooking her fences due to excitement or pain, assuming we can rule out pain probably the best idea would be to concentrate on flat work over poles for a while, to try to teach her to listen to you & approach her fences correctly. Try the old fave of a line of properly spaced trotting poles & get her trotting happily over these, then raise the last pole to make a small jump. Once she is doing this happily you can change the spacing & work over the poles at canter, also you can try raising different poles (first & last, or first & middle etc), keeping the other poles in place on the ground. Hopefully this will get her concentrating & listening to you, good luck
