Bob Malek almost pulled the saddle off the horse.

Bob Malek is being mean to the horse.

He's torturing the horse.

5 '30? Oh, oh, okay.

Yeah, it can't be 5 '30.

Doug is doing all the play -by -play.

And this is Ann, and she owns quite a few horses.

Ann, how long have you been riding horses? Since I was five years old.

Five? Yeah.

And do you have a particular favorite here? Oh, Morgan.

Yeah.

This is Morgan.

Yeah.

I've owned Morgan for nine years, and he's my big baby.

He went flying two or three years ago, but he doesn't have any trouble riding because he trusts me.

I've had him so long.

I was saying when we were going over here, I told Bob and Don that the horse has to really trust him.

Be brave to just go where you tell him to.

He's my super horse.

I really think he's the best horse I've ever known.

You know you're a sweetie, huh? Yep.

OK, now I'm going to get on the horse.

OK.

You're going to waste film that way.

Why don't you wait till I get on the horse? Once again.

Da -da -da -da -da.

Whoa! Did you get that? Ha -ha -ha.

He's going, what the? A little bit of comedy up there.

Bob is having a hard time.

He's used to English type saddle.

Oh, let's just say your name was Bob.

Bob was so used to riding bareback with his Indian buddies that he's having a hard time adjusting to the saddle, folks.

He's Pocahontas going bareback.

He used to ride with Geronimo.

You used to leaping on like that.

Ha -ha -ha.

Here's how I leap on.

Ha -ha -ha.

Watch that.

Shoulders over right away.

Even if he's taking like this, that'll keep you on.

Three strikes and he's out.

No, put your foot in the start.

Come in from the other side.

OK.

And go low, not high.

Buffalo Bob is on the horse now.
