 Thanks Vee 
                   I think this was a lovely post that came in during the 2017 
                  Ride. I am sharing again now.
 This is a wonderful message from a new member Tiffany Joseph 
                  who is feeling content.
 'I speak for all the ladies in the South Dakota woman's prison 
                  who wish they could b there for the riders .. once we learned 
                  about the ride we followed n tried to do what we could for the 
                  riders .. one year we raised money in support of them.from the 
                  ladies inside who send out prayers each day, go to sweat as 
                  well as have their pipes ceremony for them. Shirley Crane educated 
                  us about the ride so what we would love for all riders to know 
                  is that all the woman locked up are praying hard for u n are 
                  there in spirit'.

                    D. Joshua I'm happy you've decided to put out the posts like previous 
                    years. The last ride I was fortunate, along with my daughter, 
                    to be able to attend the welcoming of the riders into Mankato. 
                    Keep up the great work and prayers for the riders and horses

   This horse looks 
                like one from way back in 2014. I love the tobacco ties around 
                its neck.
 The Riders were praying at the Crow Creek Memorial, and in a photo 
                we saw that the horse had it's eyes closed and it looked like 
                it too was praying. Over the years I have noticed a number of 
                horses do the same thing when Ceremony is going on.
 I'm adding the old 2014 photo below.

          Allen SheppardI love you all and all of you continue to give strength in a good way. 
          Ignore the negative, Uphold the positive continue to refuse to even 
          coment on negativity, we are for healing forgiveness and unity of the 
          six colors, four directions and colors of man ,green the earth, and 
          blue ,that which is above all. Every human of every society and faith 
          holds a piece of the puzzle and one day we will all need to come together 
          to see the true and good picture. - kodapi .~mn renegade
