Thanks Gary. An amusing story as well as a funny and impressive video showing a mare who has figured out how to open an amazing variety of locks. It was shaping but self-shaping of sorts. Apparently she enjoyed playing with things with her mouth from the get-go and soon progressed to fooling around with locks. Imagine that eureka moment when her 'fooling around with a lock' succeeded in opening it! Whether by intent or fortuitous, as Pasteur once said, "Chance favors the prepared mind!"
