It was a difficult weekend for tie-down roper Tyler Milligan as his two-time horse of the year has passed away. Milligan currently sits in the number four spot in the world standings, and the duo has been a powerhouse since Milligan won the Resistol Rookie of the Year in 2017.

On Facebook, Tyler wrote, “Thanks for all the rides Big Time. I owe just about everything to you. I’ll never forget all you did for me and others. I’ll see you again someday. Love you.”
