Sunday afternoon we're headed or Springfield, IL. We're going to Calvary Temple Christina Center where people will be gathering for a western day at their church. Their having a chuck wagon cookout, a world champion gun spinner, bird dog pointing and retrieving exposition,
a cowboy prize for best western cowboy and cowgirl outfit and we will do a demonstration with
Knight before we listen to the band of the "Sons of the San Joaquin." When we arrived they had a tent set up on their church parking lot where people were to gather to eat. I have rode Knight up near the people and as usual people gathered around him and wanted to touch him. He's getting to where he really eats this up. He loves all the attention. The only seemed to have trouble him was a gentlemen came in and had his son up on his shoulders. Knight did not like that. But after alittle while he calmed backed down again and I rode him over to the baseball field where we were to do our performance. I was the first to go. Knight was ready. He felt pretty good, but there's still more resistance in the forward movement than I would like for him to have. He allowed me to do everything I asked him to do. But he hasn't quite yet given all of him ability over to me. I was pleased that he let me lope him around and he gave me a nice flying lead change and we finished the demo with a nice sliding stop.
