A Montana young woman was successful with the help of her horse in hazing a grizzly bear away from an eight year old boy and his horse.
Near Whitefish, MT, Erin Bolster was guiding a group of eight people out for a horseback ride when things went totally haywire! The group came across a grizzly bear chasing a deer, the horses spooked and turned around and headed back down the trail. The little boy’s horse spooked and took off causing the grizzly to give chase. The courageous young woman made her horse charge the grizzly and eventually caused the bear to turn and leave. Here is a link to the news story—the young woman AND her courageous horse will appear on the Letterman Show October 11.
