Fun thread. So trec practice session.
How many attempts did I need to open and shut a gate onboard without letting go?
 
Well jess never saw the point in opening the practise gate that didnt have a fence attached so it probably took us 20 attempts, bet you had it in 3?
 
I have the feeling you would have both been pretty good at this - maybe three at the most? Or then if you were ever like Solly and I.....about a dozen attempts, resulting in half my knee being sliced off when he eventually charged through like Henry VIII's war horse!:p
 
It took one attempt to do the gate and manoeuvre her.

However I lost count of the attempts it took to get near the thing in the first place. Gates don't just float in the middle of a school, where is the fence!
If you don't want me to jump it, I sure ain't letting you touch it.
Bless her, that's why its a practice. :)
 
Lol - I tried doing that with Scully last time I rode her - I thought how difficult could it be, if I open the gate I can ride her back to the yard - hmm, Scully had other ideas and walked willingly up to the gate and then stood chest to the catch so I couldn't see it, let alone open it! :rolleyes:
