So since Cyrus still can't be ridden did some free schooling today and my friend helped me free school him over some jumps.
After he was warmed up, we started out with a pole on the ground in trot and canter and then a small cross pole, then a small vertical and then he knew what he had to do so put up vertical a bit more.
He got the hang of it fairly quickly and really enjoyed it, he wanted to keep jumping :giggle:
He had a pep in his step today for sure :bounce:
Here is a couple links to youtube videos of him jumping. This was his first ever session free schooling over jumps (with me anyway I imagine he did as youngster). Videos taken near end of session :biggrin:

Realised after how much we repeated 'good boy' after each other :giggle:
