My sister sent me a packet of family photos today.
I have been looking for a particular photo of my mother that was taken when she was working for the Howard family at Ridgewood Ranch.
She also worked for the famous author Jessmyn West. I don't know what happened to her set of autographed books.
The missing photo was of her sitting on Seabisquit. So far I haven't been able to find which family member ended up with the framed keepsake. It is probably lost.
After she left Indian Boarding School she worked as a servant for wealthy households.
My sister didn't find the photo in her stuff but sent me other horse related pictures from my mother's photo album.
Two were taken on the reservation when she was a baby and a teen. It looks like the same saddle.
My mom was the real deal. She could ride, hunt, fish, shoot straight and hold her own on the round up.
I think I got some of her pluck.
It's cool to see these new to me photos.
