Hello all, I am new here so please bare with me 
Recently my gelding has been getting very strong and uncontrollable to jump and even sometimes on the flat (but not too often). He is an eventer and Ive only had him for about 9 months, I have never had a problem before now as he is usually a slow and steady lad but it seems that whenever I jump he throws his head in the air and gallops at the jump or does a weird sideways trot, jumps the jump and then proceeds to do mini bucks after the jump or take off with me. I do not want to put a stronger but in him (as I feel this would worsen the problem or make him mouth dead) or use a powerful calmer as he is already dopey on the flat. Could anyone suggest anything that might help me? This has only occurred in the last 2 weeks really. TIA
