Here is WHY we ask for your critical support...
- The Nokota® breed is rare and in jeopardy of disappearing! We have the largest herd of full foundation Nokotas® in the world. With less than 1000 full and part blood Nokotas® worldwide, our 66 NHC horses are vital to supporting the development of the Nokota® breed.
- Nokotas® are increasingly recognized for their remarkable characteristics. They are different from other breeds, noted for their ability to think their way through challenges and for their deep desire to connect with their humans. As more Nokota® horses are finding their human partners and engaging in a diversity of riding disciplines, their versatility and successes in many arenas speaks volumes.
- It’s not just about genetics. Our horses live in a herd environment that is as close to natural as a managed herd can get. Our babies are born into the herd and raised in the complex social structure that is created by having a large group of mares from the very young to the very old living together. Our stallions are allowed to live together and interact naturally. They play, they fight for dominance, and they form social batchelor bands. Every year a handful of stallions are selected in the spring to diversify the bloodlines of the Nokota® breed by running with their selected mare bands through the fall. Other stallions are offered for sale, gelded and engaged in training to find their human partners and become ambassadors for the Nokota® breed.
