Reverse Training horses?

Have any of you guys heard of 'reverse training'? <br>My trainer taught me a bit about it and it essentially means untraining an animal of a certain habit. I've had to start this with my TB in jumping because he got into the habit of rushing fences so bad that I could hardly control him (it's NOT that he is poorly trained-he's just easily excitable)<br><br>I'm actually surprised as to how well it's worked for me. I took out all large jumps completely and have been reworking him over crossrails and small verticles. I've been doing this for a few weeks and he's calmed down A TON.<br><br>Here's a little bit of us jumping during his training (sorry for the short clips but it's all I could get)<br><br><br><a href="http://s219.beta.photobucket.com/user/Quiggles_101/media/Knip2feet.mp4.html"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://s219.beta.photobucket.com/user/Q ... t.mp4.html</a>
