Have a vet thoroughly check her- her reflexes, whether she is 100% sound, whether she is even strong enough to jump, etc.
If you rule out a physical problem, have an instructor or educated friend.parent judge your equitation. You may be unbalancing your horse, or not giving enough reins, or something that is preventing her from jumping her best.

I personally would try to raise the jump a bit. My horse used to just trot over the fence. I had to raise it so she would actually jump. However, if your horse gets worse, then lower the fence, because that means he was not ready for a higher fence, and that a higher jump wil not solve the problem, but create a bigger one.
Another thing may be that your horse just doesn't like jumping. I have heard of horses that didn't like the job they had, and they were just never good at it.
