Bob and I met our friend Beatrice Looking Horse and her family at Canterbury Park in Shakopee for the Indian Horse Relay races.\u00a0 Wilfred “Wolf” Looking Horse was the rider for the Lakota Pride team from Cheyenne River Reservation. The race is run bareback and one rider races around the course and then changes horses in front of the grandstand — and repeats it with another horse for three times around. Beatrice said Wolf did not have his favorite horse since he ran into a fence or something and was injured so didn’t come.<\/p>\n

This picture of Wolf and his family helpers was in the paper. I tried to get some good photos but you needed a good camera to get a shot like this! Although the team did not win the Championship, Beatrice said it was always their dream to come and race in a place like this.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Bob,
