I need some advice on jumping

Hi I have just started my horse Gulliver over jumps he loves it and can jump as high as you want him to but he doesn't seem to know when to take off. He either jumps to soon or to late.? I have tried starting from the poles on the ground. any other ideas? ?

Thanks

Megan

I mention it because this is the book I mainly used when struggling to train my first horse when I was still pretty much a beginner. My horse learned to jump decently.
