We finally started jumping again today! Not much and not high, obviously, but I was very happy to find that he just took everything in stride and even gave me a few awkward distances that I asked for (if I knew we were going to get long or short). The plan is to start jumping once a week. We can only set a couple fences in our arena so we will just work on getting back into shape, both of us, then start doing some line and grid work again. I hope to take him to some hunter/jumper schooling shows in the spring before eventing season starts just to get some exposure over fences in new places. I want to start with tiny little baby classes so that it is easy for him and I know I am not over facing him too soon. Really the most jumping we have done has been cross country or it has been stadium fences in a field. No arena jumping until today.
I have some pictures but iPhoto is being stupid right now... I will get them up tomorrow!
