Thanks for the checklist Judy, lots to work out as source problems. I wanted to mention I don't usually ride in the western saddle, just did yesterday as I hadn't been on her in 2 weeks more or less and it was a breezy day, and the norm is one of my treeless saddles, and yes she still tries to rush, which is a good term for it, down or over things. I have seen horses like this get loaded into trailers and they leap over the ramp, when on trails, they leap over a downed tree, and in my case they leap down an incline, or at least she tries. Just don't want this to be her only way of thinking she should go, all my other horses I ride always walk down hillsides, never trot or tolt, too afraid of accidents on unexperienced riders who don't know to go slow down hill. Probably why I don't let others ride this little girl unless we stay on flat ground. Always want people and horses safe.
