Books on grid work/jumping exercises

[slumdog]

Any recommendations on any good books for grid work and/or jumping exercises? Or any exercises you can recommend yourself?

Having recently moved to my own yard I've not had any proper jumps for 6 weeks, but got some over the weekend so can now practise 'operation pick your feet up' at home

So far we've done a line of canter poles and putting them up in height until they are a line of small bounces plus some normal one stride and two stride doubles.

As he's an immature 6 year old, I don't want him to get bored and I want the best exercises to help build his muscles alongside his flatwork

p.s This post makes me sound like all I do is jump lol, but we only jump a couple of times a week, I just like having new ideas and plus I've never had my own jumps

I have the celebrity jumping exercises book which is FANTASTIC

^^ this is what I dip into when I need inspiration too

ETA I have 101 Jumping Exercises too but find the Celeb book a bit more useful. I can usually find something I fancy doing or a good exercise to work from in there, somehow the other book doesn't motivate me so much Nice pictures in the celeb book, perhaps that's what my simple brain needs

Klimke, Reiner and Ingrid, Cavalletti. It's Reiner Klimke's original book with expansions on grid-work by Ingrid Klimke, and includes some sample 6-week work plans for horses at various stages of training.
