The man enforced his dominance by popping Bob on the end of his nose! Bob took umbrage and responded by jerking back, dragging pore ol’ Jim over the coupe, smashing the trunk, collapsing the rear window, flattening the roof, exploding the windshield and crushing the hood!
We all agreed Bob had reaffirmed his place in the pecking order!
Rob, a Virginia farmer, took the baton and announced he was into donkey dressage. He explained that to truly appreciate it, one must understand the donkey attitude toward exertion … PACE YOURSELF.
So rather than leap over the jumps at a high lope, you accrue points by walking through them at a comfortable pace, pushing the horizontal poles over and walking around the water traps.
The objective in each event is to do everything wrong! In pole bending you walk between the poles, knocking them over and not crossing the finish line.
In the performance class you get points for stumbling, going the wrong direction, dragging the rider against the fence and star gazing.
Donkey basketball has long been popular, but can you imagine Clydesdale basketball? It would be like watching the NBA! It just wouldn’t work.
So, I’ll be watching for Rob’s donkey dressage. Donkey hockey, donkey water polo, maybe even donkey bulldogging!
But … instead of bulls or steers, they would use something more suited for the donkey attitude. How ‘bout tortoise dogging! Obviously, it wouldn’t be a timed event.
