Ely Brothers

Maxine and Luke Ely have six sons:

Kit Ely
Kit is the oldest son. For his "manhood initiation", he went on a vision quest. He rides broncs (bucking horses) on the rodeo circuit. After a horse falls on him and crushes his wrist, he comes home to Three Ponies Ranch, where Jake finds himself getting jealous of his brother's skills and of the attention everyone, including Sam, gives Kit. However, Kit leaves Three Ponies and decides to work on a ranch in Hawaii with his friend Pani.

Nate Ely
Not much is known about Nate, but he rides a horse named Digger and he learned and performed traditional dances for a powwow for his "manhood initiation".

Adam Ely
Adam works in Reno at a kayaking outfitters store. For his "manhood initiation", he built a canoe that he still takes to Monument Lake.

Bryan Ely
For his "manhood initiation", Bryan built a sweat lodge that the family still uses from time to time.

Quinn Ely
Quinn is the second youngest brother and is the complete opposite of Jake. It is said in book #7: Desert Dancer that Quinn has short, spiky hair, and a lanky built and a prankster personality.

He is a member of Darton High's student council. His horse, a brown quarter horse named Chocolate Chip, is a full sibling to Jake's horse Witch, and they have identical conformation. For his "manhood initiation", he learned and performed the drums at a traditional ceremony.

Jacob Ely
Jake is the youngest Ely brother. For his "manhood initiation", he caught and gentled a mustang filly according to Shoshone tradition.
