Another interest that he dedicated his time to was quarter horses and horse shows. He was a member of Maud Evans Saddle Club and he took the family to horse shows and rodeos on weekends, between milking cows. A trip to the N.D. State Fair every year was a highlight. He also raised border collies and spent hours training them as cattle dogs.
