I already asked a question about my TB horse going barefoot but..
My gelding is really althetic and fit and happy so we wanted to start him jumping! but alas he just is not good at it. When they first started the lesson he jumped over the first time, (i wasnt riding him :P) But afterwords he just charged strait through. I mean, the girl riding him was scared she was going to fall off it was that bad. (and shes not a fearful rider!) Anyways... he has always been clumsy, like if there is a pole or cone or something on the ground he will run over it, trip, stumble, collect, act normally again etc.
Anyway! to my question (yay!) If he goes barefoot and is able to feel the ground will that help him with jumping, is there any other training methods i can use since i dont own him yet so i cant rip his shoes off like i badly want to do...
