My connemara came from Ireland and has had a bad past. He was terrified of jumping. We've finally brought him round and he tends to jump anything at home, but i recently went to a show and he wouldn't jump untill he'd refused every jump about 4 times .. i took him in the same course in clear round and he flew round it .. i understand that he needs a good look at the jump before he goes over it and every new jump he tends to refuse it THEN go over it .. what can i do to stop him doing this ?x
