Who is in charge?

I love these stories! Particularly about the abused pony :(

However, I assume none of these would have jumped had the rider been on board telling the horse not to go over the fence?

What I am getting at is that I don't think a horse can make the decision to go over a fence in the middle of the field if its rider does not want him to!

We have one that does lock on o jumps. Daughter can not school around poles or jumps, he really does cart her of and jumps them with ears pricked forwards, he is 17.2hh and by Concorde :) He jumps 5ft electric fencing and five bar gates for fun! We have had some moments when daughter has thought he was going to jump the school fence :)
 
We used to have our stables about 100 yards from the field..... if I was ever late getting up to bring her in from the field, she'd jump the fence and stand in her stable...door open....waiting!! x
