Please help me. Iknow that if you breed horses you should know how 2 train them but the truth is I have tried everything I have ever learnt to get my fave arab to pick her feet up.She is 15hh called Razzle Dazzle (aka Daisy). I have tried absolutely everything to get her feet up. I have Show Jumped her and she did very well but I am starting X-Country this year and if she hits a fixed jump she will somersault. Pleaz I really need expert advice here. PLEASEY!!!!!! [Confused]

Some horses are just dangerous jumpers. I would work in the ring, on grids and trotting poles, LOTS OF THEM!

try some gymnastic jumping excersises. If you look on the internet, you can find some excersises to set up for her.
