Spooky Horse: Keeping your horse going over fences and on the trail

Question: Hi, I just wanted to know how do you “cure” a spooky horse? I have a great thoroughbred with an amazing jump, but she doesn’t do the jumps as she stops directly in front of it, and well… I usually go flying!!! She can jump 1 meter jumps if it is just a pair of uprights with a pole, but if you add anything else to the jump she won’t do it. It’s the same with our rides. She will see a dead branch 500 times and still walk past it and spook at it! So do you have any idea, of curing this spooky behaviour or hers?
