Hey, I would work on trotting him to jumps instead of cantering them. When you do start cantering the jumps, if he gets strong you should make a circle, and if you feel him rushing, make a circle. He will soon learn that he has to calm down to jump. Work on half halts, and on the flat and while just hacking, practice shortening and lengthening his strides in all of the different gaits (walk, trot, canter). Also, working on strengthening your abdominal or core muscles will help. I hope this helps!
While this is a good answer, you have to make sure you don't do it too much or your horse will get into the habit or refusing.
