Decided to do some more freeschooling with Mr C tonight and he was doing so well that I decided to film some of it! Started off with some trotting/canter pole, then some small cross poles before putting up the 2ft and 2'9 straights.

Not great quality but it's very difficult to film and control your horse at the same time:p

Any comment/critique is most welcome - he'd never really jumped before I got him and sometimes his jump is fab and other times as you can see from the end of the video its a bit of a mess:rolleyes:

I also noticed that he was really tired after the session which lasted about half an hour - it seems that all that hacking we've been doing (mainly in walk) has done wonder for his weight and muscles but has resulted in him losing fitness and stamina so that's the next thing to work on.:)

He does exactly what my cob does! Flies over a few times without touching them, then starts thinking its easy, looses impulsion, trots up to them, and knocks them flying. :rolleyes:If they are 2ft9 he might clear them easier if you ask him to canter at the corner before the jump. My horse does :D

LOL - I think that's his problem - and he's actually worse when you school him over smaller jumps - it's like he thinks is sooo easy and sooo boring that why should he bother!:D

I know - I'm slightly mortified at the recording of me growling at him but hey he turned and jumped it again - obviously the smaller jump that I'd intended him to go over wasn't nearly as challenging enough!:p
