I am after some tips from those of you who have had a speedy jumper and how you worked on this. I have a TB ex racing 6 year old, I have recently taught her to jump with trainer in tow and she is everything you would want she is bold, brave and can jump. My issue is after last weekend when I introduced her to jumping a course and from canter she pings off on landing into a sometimes uncontrollable canter almost as if she was on the gallops and she can be sharp with it. She is fine on approach but I feel I have little control (short of riding lots of circles) on landing. I have a few ideas and have considered canter poles on landing but the way she lands I fear she may slip on one and knock her confidence too much (she is a sensitive mare) I have thought of raised poles on a 20m to canter round on, adding 1 raised pole on each quarter at a time until all 4 are up. And i have also seen recently that Carl Hester does 70% of all his schooling in canter as a primary training gait so maybe this is the answer? She is getting stronger in her canter and Im thrilled on the flat but at the moment I am worried about taking her XC, not for the jumping aspect but landing and buggering off. I have ordered a sweet iron 2 ring for XC are currently in a hanging cheek Thank you
