This is Jake, Maddy. He belongs to Chance. He’s 4 years old. We got him at the same time as Frankie Blue Eye’s. They grew up together. But Jake hasn’t had as much riding as Frankie. Chance needs to come watch the place while I go on a short vacation and maybe he will ride him some more then. I rode Jake for a short ways last fall. He feels like your riding a spring horse, real bouncy, but in a good kind of way.

I had a young neighbor over today and he helped me catch the young horses and work with them and worm them. It wore me out.

We’ve got friends from Iowa here visiting for the weekend and the kids are supposed to be out on Saturday. Sunday we go to Devils Tower to perform poetry.

The annual Poetry Gathering at Marmoth ND is Saturday night. Wish I could go, but it’s too far and I have to travel on Sunday. Oh well, maybe next year. It’s one of the best gatherings there is.

Got more pictures of horses today, so I will posting them for Mad. 🙂
