Time to jump!

The trotting poles didn't go too badly yesterday, so I thought I would pop him over a few fences today. I started with some poles on the ground and trotted over them each way before putting up a cross pole.  I trotted him a few times each way to it and he happily popped it, landed in canter so I kept coming round and he jumped it in canter easy peasy!

We put up a little upright and then we also added a placing pole for him. The first time he came to it he was a little shocked couldn't quite work out where to put his feet! Came back round and he jumped it fine and both ways he was really good. We then turned it into a tiny spread with a cross pole in front, again he was a little confused but after very little persuasion he jumped it and was flying! We made it into a square little oxer probably only about 75/80cms and kept the placing pole and he was jumping it so nicely!! he really impressed me today and he can only get better with time!

Edited back here is the link to his video!
