Chloe is an intelligent animal, startling sometimes. At feeding time Maria and I go into the big barn and we cut open the hay bales and haul the hay out to the feeders. Chloe knows this, she goes to the windows and tries to peer in, then rushes to the gate to meet us when we arrive with hay, and then she dances to the feeders. Once in awhile, she tries to open the gate. Once in awhile, she succeeds.
