| Loose without a bit 11/2/07 KyHarnessRacing.com
Montgomery Boy, had a malfunction with his bridle. His bit, a jaw breaker, became unattached to the bridle. With the bit around the chest area, driver Jack Keininger had no control of his horse. After dumping his driver, Montgomery Boy ran around the racetrack, with the bike dragging behind. While horsemen managed to keep him on the track, he wouldn't slow down enough to be caught.
time the loose horse came by, Cooper ran and leap onto the horse's neck. With his right arm around the neck of the horse, and both feet off the ground, Cooper took his left hand and grabbed the horse's nose and brought it to his chest. The horse stopped very quickly.
Cooper was asked, "That's called bulldogging. That's the only way you were going to stop him." He made it look easy, but before anyone attempts to bulldog a horse, please give Lawrence Cooper a call, he can give you a few tips. He's had experience. |
