GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- Eight-year-old Kyle Winter loves animals. He carries stuffed snakes, a big green alligator and plastic sharks with him at his home, identifying one snake as a boa constrictor and demonstrating the strength with which alligators can close their jaws on prey.
When he rides horses with Eagle Mount’s equestrian program, he makes sure to apologize to his horse if he accidentally bumps into him.Kyle is well-spoken, shows affection toward his parents, Susan and Jeff Winter, doesn’t always get along with his 11-year-old brother, Ryan, and takes extra time to play with the family labradoodle, Hannah, and tries to teach her how to roll over.
