wrong canter lead after jumping

[blood_magik]

hi all

I took beau for our first proper jumping lesson last week and I've been practicing one of the exercises I was given as we were a bit wobbly.

the exercise consists of a placing pole 6ft (half a stride) in front of a jump. you trot to it and pick up canter over the pole then pop the jump.

anyways, beau had a bit of a wobble with the placing pole the first time but he soon got the idea and managed to stay straight after the jump, which was something we needed to work on.

I did notice that we struggled to get the correct canter lead after the jump.
I made sure I was in the centre of the jump and that our get away was straight.

any ideas?

Instead of staying straight over the fence, lean slightly to the side you want them to land on, the extra weight should encourage them to land on the lead you are looking for.
