jumping problem
i would try to let his head go a bit more and more half halts, 120 is obviously a hieght he needs to put his head up to see clearly and that is why i understand he is rushing because all of a sudden when he puts his head up to face the jump he sees the jump more clearly and panics so therefore he rushes into the jump to clear it. dont get all worked up in having him rounded as such just make sure he is in your outside rein correctly so you can line him up properly and KEEP YOUR LEG ON! lots o half halts before the jump and relax let him enjoy it. poles are a good way to remind you to half halt and come in straight to a jump too.
hope i can help
