Schooling a greenie over jumps.

I just want to know what everyone does to get their green horses used to jumping.

Do you let them loose in the ring to check it out, walk them over it, let the sniff it, lunge them over it ect?

Start off with ground poles, get her/him to go over ground poles and thru jump standards. Do various exercises to get your horse used to troting and cantering thru them. When you feel she/he is comfortable, start building small X-rails.

I really suggest having a ground line when building a fence. It will help you and more specifically your horse to figure out where ot jump. A ground pole on both side of the fence is also a great way to make it easier to teach your horse to distance herself/himself.
