“Meanwhile, a young lady on a big horse charged out of the pack of grizzly stories near Glacier National Park. In a cloud of dust, the 25-year-old wrangler likely saved a boy’s life while demonstrating that skill, quick-thinking and guts sometimes are the best weapons against a head-on charging grizzly.”
I love that, in the end, she bought him. Great story of two beings with big, courageous hearts.
This is a great story! Made me cry. (Of course, I’m particularly susceptible to stories of eight-year-old boys in peril.)
This was an awesome story. Thank you for posting it for us.
Holy Moly, that was an exciting story! Yes, you’d have to buy a horse who was that responsive [to his rider’s commands] and brave. As the story said, it’s not easy to get a horse to overcome the flight response–you really have to have complete command of them, and they absolutely have to have respect for you and trust that you won’t get them into trouble. As someone who owns three horses, and has had more than one unscheduled dismount [when they got spooked], I can tell you, it’s not an easy thing to accomplish.
A dynamic duo, to be sure. How fortunate for the kid.
