Show Jump How do I get my horse to jump upright show jumping fences, without knocking through them, spreads are no prob?
I have a 17hh TB, who I purchased a year ago from a a lady who rehabilitates, ex-eventers & racehorses. His past is shady and unknown before she had him. He has very straight shoulders, but clears 3'9" XC country without any fuss and his dressage is impeccable, we are hoping to go BE next year, but we really need to tackle the SJ side of things as he clears 3'9" spreads perfectly, but also adds an additional stride into upright straight bars and sometimes crashes through them.
It could very well be that he is not rocked back onto his hindquarters enough. Horses will sometimes begin to get quick and therefore flatten out their jump and knock rails down if you don't rock them back onto their hindquarters to get the power from behind to clear the jump. I would start practicing 2'9-3' jumps rocking him back - collecting him up and really getting that power from behind and slowly working your way back up to 3'9. It can actually begin when you are flatting him practising collections and extensions and really work on getting a "rocking canter" (aka power from the hindquarters) instead of letting him do it from the forehand. As for attacking skinnies, make sure your horse is packaged up even more - because those jumps are so narrow, it's easy for your horse to flatten out even more over them. You don't need a good gallop or extended canter in order to clear a jump - this is when they get onto the forehand and knock down rails. You need a nice even working canter with the power coming from behind instead of infront.
You can also practice with groundlines to help the horse see the distance to the fence. Certain coloured poles make it difficult for horses to actually get a good "look" at the fence and/or make it very difficult for the horse to judge the jump itself. When you take groundlines away, it becomes more difficult for the horse to judge exactly where the jump is and the distance to it.

How to Show Jump
Did The Imus In The Morning Show "Jump The Shark" Yesterday When Imus Groveled At The Feet Of Al Sharptoon?
Every radio or TV show has that defining moment when the " fat lady sings" to signal the show is OVER and has strayed so far from its original concept it has become pathetic (Jumping the Shark).
Imus has become a sniveling politically correct shadow of his former self with this apology to someone who is actually a racist and anti semite. In this great country you should have the right to make a complete fool of yourself free from any speech censorship from either the right or the left. Jim W (DaMan) we probably do not agree on much else but NO one should be censored not even by the YA thought police.
Imus jumped the shark a long time ago. The guy hasn't been relevant in years.

There’s a hidden story in those numbers.
What’s really impressive are the October numbers. Look at that jump — and all before Climategate hit.

The most impresive thing is that ratings were soaring even before climategate hit.
Well done everyone!

My thoughts exactly Evan.
