More Denny thoughts

1979, York at Chesterland, a "touch and go" bank. These require quick reflexes and a keep going forward attitude. These "questions" test a horse better, in my opinion, than the extreme angles and narrow skinnies that don`t exist "in nature....
" Somehow, cross country course design has gotten "weird."
If a horse can`t tell what a jump IS, it`s hard to navigate. Yes, the Michael Jungs and William Fox-Pitts of the eventing world can make it happen anyway, but is "weird" to a horse`s eye what we want to ask?
