You need to improve your canter so its a nice steady bouncy and active canter. It would also benefit you to have a couple of poles say 10 strides apart, then practice cantering over them in 8 strides and then 11 strides.

If you play around like this you will be more able to hold your horse to the fence.

But the main thing is the canter which it sounds like you need to improve.
