Today while Jere was trying to get Penny to hook on, at Liberty, she jumped the gate on the round pen. She was frantically trying to find a place to get away and we put too much pressure on her. She just stood up on her hind legs, right beside the gate and flatfooted jumped over! Maybe she can be a jumping horse!! But the good thing was, she let Jere walk right over to her and catch her. We were really surprised that she would let him catch her so easy. After that we worked her some more, and she seemed to settle down and come to him better. We will see if it is just a false alarm, or maybe she is getting ready to tie on.
