To jump

Today I commenced teaching Crownie to jump. I've jumped her before, but she's never had much of a formal education.

Now that I understand the concept of "This will profit you" and "This will profit you not", the training takes on a whole new wonderful dimension.

I have setup some tiny cross rails, and the whole idea is for Crownie to jump each one. All I have to do is show her that jumping over the logs profits her. So once she's over the log, I relax and leave her alone.

I keep repeating the exercise until I feel (intuition at work?) that she no longer looks to run out. That she feels the jump isn't an issue, and it's easier to actually just jump it rather than try something else. I don't increase the jumps in height.
