HE WAS FANTASTIC, you are going to get so sick of me telling you how lovely he is!!

Anyway didnt do much and only did the small stuff, but he did steps to rails, rail to rail, ditch to rolltop/palisades/water skinny etc etc so did tiny versions of eveyrthing really.

Didnt mind the water went straight in and its quite a deep stream, went off the small step in and out as well.
Walked over a small ditch first and he looked down and almost stopped then just popped over. Then we did a bigger one later on which first time he launced over and then wen i did it as part of the combination he did a bit as well then i had to kick him as he had forgotton there was a palisade there (bit of untidy riding

but we got over safely and confidently)

He did steps as well up and down and was more than happy especially going up and did one to a rail as well.

He went down into the pts and up the jumped up the other side.

I honestly cant of wanted him to be better. The only thing he did was run out once at a roll top on the corner of the field which he leapt over the side of it, but tbh i think he wasnt concentrating as he didnt spook at it; and jumped it fine 2 times after that. and had a wibble at the step down after just jumping up it; but then he leapt off fine
