Our Mission

The Nokota Horse Conservancy® exists to ensure the survival of the historically significant and endangered Nokota® breed. Our mission is to continue the breeding program to preserve and protect their genetics and to engage in educational outreach that advances an appreciation of the importance of the Nokota® horse and the need to sustain their existence for future generations. 
With 110 horses in our herd, the NHC owns the largest herd of full foundation Nokota® horses in the world. We are so excited to expand our breeding program this summer, with the specific objective of making the dream of owning a Nokota® at an accessible price a reality. We are also going to be looking into ways to strengthen our relationships with private breeders as we firmly believe that doing so will help the breed not just survive but also to thrive. 

HAY! 
​We need your help to secure our winter hay supply now!

The fields in North Dakota have been blessed with ample rain this year and the hay harvest is looking great.  Our budget for feeding 103 Nokota horses in our breeding herd is targeted for $32,000 this season. This includes the purchase of straw for bedding in the coldest winter weather.  Research has shown that supplying straw for horses maintained on the range or prairie reduces overall hay costs and provides added assurance that vulnerable horses will have enhanced health when winter conditions are challenging.
