Maggie was having trouble with her horse Montana so Tami told her she'd ride him to see what was going on. When we got to the barrel race Tami was sitting on Montana and he was calm but soaked. I asked what happened. She said she lunged him before she got on and he went crazy. While he was bucking and jumping around he knocked Tami flat on the ground. She got up and by the time we got there he was standing still. Even so the look on his face was not pleasant.Tami took him out on an exhibition. They had a lot of trouble at the first barrel. He wouldn't go around it and Tami wouldn't let him quit. They finally got around and the next 2 barrels went better. When they turned to run for home Montana started bucking. Not Leilani's sleepy crow hopping but NFR bucking. Tami almost came out there was a lot of air showing. She got control and started circling hard. After awhile they took off again and he started bucking again. This time she was ready and immediately started pulling him in a circle. They worked hard and he finally ran out of the arena. He was so stressed physically and mentally that sweat was pouring off of him. I feel safe in saying Maggie will never ride him again.
