Do the rabbits have to run the course in a specific order the way dogs do in dog agility?
That's really cool that you guys have the fences so the rabbits can't go all willy nilly, but can still run the course without the leash and at their own pace.
It would be really cool to let Michiko try it. She gets some pretty good air!
For us, the course is set out and the rabbits can choose which way they want to go (the course is a square), but have to keep going that way. Some groups have a course that is more like dog agility but just with jumps and they do have to go in that order. There are penalties for missing an obstacle as well as knocking over a pole.
Actually, the fences are more for keeping kids off the course than the rabbits. If we don't have fences, there are literally kids crawling all over the mats when we are trying to run the rabbits. The parents of these kids don't seem to care much either. That the fence helps keep the rabbits in is just a bonus.
You can build some jumps or use some safe stuff in your house to try it yourself.
