I go out and jump her and first of all she gets so hyped up that she walk and trot in place or start backing up and I can&#39;t get her to go forward no where, even if Im by the jumps or not. I do round pen her before I get on her, but it don&#39;t seem to help. Also, when im close to the jumps or around them while I&#39;m jumping she won&#39;t trot, she&#39;ll either walk or canter. And, whenever I do leads with her sometimes she&#39;ll get them right, but on some spots when I am going a certain direction, she will only keep on the same lead, no matter if I slow her down to a trot and pick up a lead that way. Also, on the leads when I have her in a trot or a walk when she doesn&#39;t have a trot and I put pressure on her to pick up a lead and canter, she gets real defensive, she&#39;ll put her ears back and try to buck.&nbsp;Also, when I&#39;m jumping sometimes she clear the jumps, but she&#39;ll hit them alot, I mean barely nick them up they fall down, she don&#39;t want to raise her feet up high enough. Can you all please help me???? Also, don&#39;t say that maybe jumping isn&#39;t her thing cause she loves to jump.</p>
