Can't help I'm afraid, but I was thinking exactly the same thing today so I'm going to be keeping an eye on this thread! Any ideas for things you can do with limited resources as well would be fantastic

what are you wanting to practice in particular?
for getting even strides then put 4 poles out on a circle so they are at 12,3,6 and 9 on a clock (if that makes sense). You can use cavaletti if you have them, otherwise only little fences, max 2foot. The idea is you canter round counting your strides out loud, 1 to 4, keeping the stride even so you get the same number of strides between each fence. then start trying to get one more between each fence, then one less etc.
gridwork is useful for athleticism
remember jumps don't need to be big for schooling - it's about improving technique!
