Nokota Stallions


 

CHIEF        PEACE PIPE

Nokota horses are bred directly from the war and buffalo horses confiscated from Chief Sitting Bull in the late 1800’s. The Nokota qualities will enhance other breeds with their keen intelligence and calm, curious disposition. They are large-boned with thick hoof walls, rarely needing to be shod. The Nokota make excellent barrel and pole racing horses. These Indian horses are better balanced on to their hind quarters than most breeds which gives them uncanny jumping ability. They have unexpected strength and endurance for their size making them ideal mountain and trail horses. Nokotas exhibit the smooth “Indian shuffle”, a gait desired by many. Greys and blacks are the most common Nokota colors.

The Nokota is the last remaining strain of the northern prairie horse, and the last known strain of Native American war and buffalo horses. We still marvel at what Indians could accomplish with these breeds. Never stabled, washed, curried, shod, doctored or fed, they starved through the winter, but when the grass came in he filled out, ears up and eyes brightened, ready for whatever his master required. Adversity brought out these outstanding inheritable characteristics sought after by all breeders.
