Aheer was watching the bull riding event, after having participated last year, when her instincts kicked in to go after a fallen bull rider who was getting rolled by his bull.
Aheer recalled to Global News how she put her hand on the bull’s head to push it back, and how she felt its curly hair under her hand.“All I kept thinking is that the organizers who told us you weren’t allowed to touch the bulls. And I’m a rule follower,” she laughed.
