A little at a time is the way to go. My 3'6" Ammy owner hunter horse and I jumped hundreds of little fences, creating all kinds of mental and gymnastic challenges on our way to the show ring. It made him one of the most confident and capable jumpers you'd ever want to sit astride. (We could and did jump higher now and then...sometimes 4'+ but all the same basics applied, as did the dressage flat work.) Don't think the horses made as big a fuss about the jumps as we do, actually.
