I am really in front of the moment when jumping with my horse. Especially if he puts in a short one in front of the jump. How can I stop this, are there any exercises that would help? Grid work?

Go xc schooling on a horse who doesn't like drops, you will soon learn to sit behind the movement! Haha
Grid work is the best for work in the school as the others said

work on a strong and balanced 2 points position so you don't actually have to move when the horse jumps.

the best piece of advice i was ever told regarding jumping and when to fold was:
Never go down to the horse
Always let the horse come up to you
helped me out when doing gridwork as i used to do the same, i used to say it to myself on the approach so id remember to wait for the horse, now i dont even have to think about it
