Horse stumbles over and steps on and bumbles thru poles on the ground. Person thinks poor soul has so much trouble and can't do more until it can go over those twigs without bumbling.
Horse is thinking - this isn't even worth the effort so who cares.
Person is now scared to ride horse over these twigs because person doesn't want horse falling with person on.
Horse is okay with that concept.
Person would get horse a whole lot better by asking horse to jump over 55 gallon drums (on line). Even 6 mo. old foals can easily jump these barrels and it gives horse enough of an obstacle to put in a little effort. Let them bumble over or hit them if horse wants. Make them immovable then the next time they'll try a bit harder. People are frequently amazed at how nicely their horse jumps.
