I love jumping but im terrified of the jump!All I have been jumping are cavelletis and cones! And now all of a sudden im terrified of a jump thats not even a foot tall!I can jump higher on foot than i can on my horse!What are some ways i can conquer this fear and stop running towards the jump and then stopping right in front of it!Because i refuse so much now my horse is ducking out of the jumps!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to a riding school and ride a diferent horse. Try to remember how you sucessfully jumped before your fear began. Lead your horse over jumps to stop him/her ducking.
