first bounce jumps

It's still hot and very muggy, so this morning I decided to just lunge Jordan over some small jumps and skip riding him. After warming up over a single cavalletti I added a regular jump standard 9' after the cavalletti and had him jump both X's and verticals. I eventually went to the max height of 2' 6" on my lunge standard and he looked beautiful! Very calm run out and no problem or hesitation, ever. He never questioned the jumps once today. Once he was a bit too calm and knocked over the pole, same as from the saddle. Just a little bit of gas needed to ensure a clean jump with this guy.
