When training a spooky or green horse over fences, keep all new or odd looking fences quite small at first. This way you can make sure that there will be *no* refusals. If he spooks at it, you can just walk over it. When you train a young horse with the mentality that he is going to go over a strange fence the first time he sees it, even if he has to crawl over it - he will come into each fence knowing that he must figure out how to get to the other side, and that there is no other option.
