At dusk yesterday I did a quick session of lunging over low jumps. It was fun and he looks great in the air. This morning I did a regular session of lateral work and then did the jumps mounted. Nice jumps in both directions, with very easy run outs. He is a smooth jumper and does not over-jump, which is good because I'm not much of a jumping rider!
I still wish he could trot better on a loose rein without speeding up. He needs more circle work at this point and is not quite ready to work straight and calm at the trot. It doesn't help that the gnats are just awful right now. But he is trying hard and really doing as well as any horse could do in these conditions.
