I'd second having lessons- find a decent instructor who will help you!

Plus it doesn't sound like your horse likes jumping...if he really liked jumping he wouldnt keep refusing unless your doing something wrong.

There is an expert on here called Papafritta - They can jump higher than anyone - You should ask them.

If not - try some bigger rockets up his bottom. - The ones on ebay from china are brilliant.
Or a trampoline - great for practice at home
Definatley get everyone from school around to watch - they can cheer your pony on.
Jumping Gear might be broken - definatley get the machanics in - there is a reason cars have 'horse power' - Mechanics are good for horses too.

13,14 in a few wks tho :D

Ahhh bless, the only way really is to do what someone else suggest, make the wings wider with poles coming off, and put a nice inviting crossbar up.

Approach the jump straight and in a trot, its much harder for a horse to refuse a jump in trot than it is in canter, make sure you are sitting firm and lots of leg on the approach to the jump, if neccesarry give a firm kick split second before takeoff and don't shift your weight forward until takeoff! Many ppl tend to anticipate the jump and lean forward just as a horse is about to take off and this causes the horse to stop or refuse.

If you do get a refusal sit there with plenty of leg and don't turn the pony away or let them run out, they will soon get the message xx

Yep, the OP definitely needs my complete Huggly Horsemanship DVD collection, plus Huggly Horsemanship jumping kit, including right-brain-extrovert trampoline, patent leather huggly horsemanship jumping saddle and bridle and HH ear covers. all for the very modest sum of £10,000

Even if it is a wind up, other ppl read thread and have same sort of issues, why not just give the best advice you have, and theres always the risk that it is a young child after a sensible answer?
