Put yourself in the mindset of a 3-year-old Thoroughbred filly. Now, take a guess of the best way to solve this problem.
January 21, 2020: Cubbie Girl North, the former racehorse with whom I’ve been playing a daily game of picking petals off flowers and saying “She loves me, she loves me not,” is about to try a jump chute for the first time. A jump chute is an inviting way to introduce horses to the physical and mental skills required for the jumping that is part of several equestrian sports. Running freely without a rider, Cubbie is then directed toward an alleyway with four-foot barriers on each side and a line of jumps between them ranging from about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 feet.
So, did Cubbie: (a) go over the jumps in the jump chute; (b) grind to a halt, refusing to jump; or (c) do something we didn’t expect was possible?
