How can I get my pony to trot up to a jump? When my instructor asks me to slow her down I can't, it is either a really slow canter/trot or extremely fast - and quite often it's fast. What should I do?

Most horses do tend to get excited and worked up when approaching a jump as mine used to - All I did was took a little advice off an old riding instructer who stated 'Relax, sit deep into your seat and keep your contact and your horse will obey to your command' Not too sure whether this helps but it helped for me by just shortening my reins and keeping my body contact focused and steady and my horse just seemed to go along with it - easy as that!! Hope this works!
