Mollie Francis obliged and continued to jump as owner Cecil Troy of Pea Ridge coaxed and encouraged her. “You oughtn’t do that,” he said when she accidentally kicked down the jump curtain. Mollie Francis and Troy won first place in the 51 inches and over category of the 25th annual Pea Ridge Mule Jump Saturday. About 3,000 people attended despite the threat of rain and the muddy ground, Nathan See, chairman of the event, said.
