Stan and I are pretty new to jumping. We're ok at clearing a single jump on it's own but need some help when it comes to jumping a course and related distances. Can anyone recommend any good training books/dvds? Am planning on having some jumping lessons when finances allow!!

Yeah, I've got the 101 jumping exercises which is really good and Celebrity riding exercises looks like a good one too.

Ha ha, I got that book too after you recommended it's also worth getting although some of the grids need a bigger school than I've got lol! Someone should do a book, jumping exercises for small menages-or maybe they have!
