Showjumping

[MendipMagician]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any advice, I have a 7yr old mare who can jump really really well when she wants to! I take her Show Jumping and she will always jump the first round perfectly and then anything after that, either a jump off or another class she destroys it all. I try my best to make sure i ride her exactly the same way every time. She has had her back and saddle checked. She does struggle to push from behind, would it be becuase she it getting tired and can't manage to push or another reason?
Any suggestions greatly welcomed.

How fit is she? Have you tried doing a sj lesson somewhere where you can have a go at a full course?

She is reasonabily fit at the moment. She will quite happly do a course in a lesson but its always the second time or third time you go round it she will destroy it, i guess i just have to keep trying until she succeds.
