Okay....I was stupid enough once to try to jump a
cattle guard. I was younger, more gutsy and trusted my horse. It was
a genuine cattleguard with the gap below, etc.
Of course she could not jump broad enough to
clear it I have a pretty strong recollection of her scrambling on the
bars some before making it to the other side. Thank god a hoof did not go
in......
Well, this was probably 20 plus years ago when I
was in my wild phase galloping around the hills bareback. I would not
today, under any circumstances, ask a horse to cross a
cattleguard!!!
I am interested in incidents involving horses and
cattleguards that you have personal knowledge of. Situations where
horses have successfully jumped, walked over, flown over or otherwise
miraculously appeared on the wrong side are most helpful.
