This morning I gave Sharp Rise a jump over their American-sized fences just so he knows what to expect, as they are a little bit different. They are a smaller steeplechase fence than we have but they have a big green belly on them with a white rail, rather than our orange toe boards. It was good to let him get his eye in and see what they are jumping.
