jumping tips

[sanchob]

I have a welsh partbred pony who is just 6 years old. i have had him for 2 years now and have been mainly focusing on my dressage with him, which he enjoys and has been successful so far. I dont do much jumping with him, but in the winter i got him jumping round a 2ft 6 course happily but it was outside, as soon as i take him inside he is a differnt pony he is very stubborn and wont even jump a cross pole, a lot of the dressage i do is indoors so its not as if he isnt used to being in an indoor arena. any constructive advice would be appreciated. thanks

Can you get him to do any pole work in the arena? xx

yeah we do some pole work at home to help with his schooling, when we do jump him at home we mainly do grid work with him then we will do a little course everynow and then. we just cant get him past this stubborn stage. xx
