Kirstin Kelly? I recently got a new horse that im getting back to jumping, he has jumped a lot a few years ago. And now that I’m training him, he has a wierd way of doing it. So when I come up to a jump with a nice and smooth canter, and right before he takes off, he kind of stops in mid air, kinda like a rear. And then pushes forward. I get thrown out of the saddle every time. Do you have any tips?🤷‍♀️

If you mean like he stalls on takeoff... like he goes to jump but stalls takes a breath then jumps. That's really hard on your position because the rhythm is interrupted. You need to cluck at the base or even tap him lightly behind your leg with a whip to make him stay forward at the base of the jump and keep your chin up,up,up as the change in pace will make you get left behind so the head up will keep your core strong.
