You'd want a controlled, short, bouncy, 'uphill'
canter so that the horse is set-up for pushing
off his hind end. However, small logs, etc can
usually be taken from a trot/ordinary canter.
Just be alert and don't come at it too fast with
a green horse - he might throw in a sudden stop
or swerve and all sorts of complications could
arise! <g>

himself over a 1 inch pebble, let alone a log!)
