Nokota horse supporters turn to Legislature

North Dakota’s honorary horse breed doesn’t get the respect supporters believe it’s due in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. They’ve turned to the North Dakota Legislature to send a message to the National Park Service to work to preserve the Nokota horse breed, which traces its lineage to Indian ponies and early ranch stock in the Badlands. “It’s a question of doing a right thing,” said Frank Kuntz of the Nokota Horse Conservancy in Linton. “These horses have a wonderful history and they deserve that recognition.”
