One of the kids’ favorite activities is swimming with the horses. Helena had brought their favorite horse to Standing Rock, a dappled gray named Silver. She called him “dirty white boy.” At home, the kids hang on to his mane as he walks into the ruddy water of Lake Traverse. Then he swims in wide circles with the children dragging behind. When his front hooves touch the beach again, he lurches forward, and the kids scream and cling to his neck as he drags them out of the water.
