Challenging your mom to a race when sheās a winning Thoroughbred racehorse is a bold choice for someone whose rĆ©sumĆ© still says āmilk enthusiast.ā šš
His strategy: launch a surprise attack, deploy ALL the legs, and assume sheās forgotten how this works.
Mom: āSweetheart, you inherited the speed. I kept the experience.ā š
These pasture antics are part of growing up. Running, turning and playful chasing give young c**ts opportunities to develop coordination and practise using those rapidly growing bodies.
Playing with other horses also teaches the finer points of herd life: reading body language, respecting boundaries, and discovering that inviting someone to play doesnāt guarantee a yesāespecially when that someone is Mom.
Todayās lesson: ambition is encouraged. Beating the milk supplier may require further development. š¼š
