Friend of The Preserve, Patrick Springer has just published a book we want to share about the history of our beloved Nokotas: Untamed: The Story of the Wild Horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park

"A story of survival and a continued fight for freedom, Untamed gallops through history and shows the importance of these fierce, wild herds that still roam the prairies today. Whether you are a history-buff, horse-lover or just someone searching for the spirit of independence, this book is for you."

Grab your copy today!:

The story of the horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a tale of survival. These magnificent animals have adapted to thrive in the Badlands' harsh environment, enduring searing summers and frigid winters, and defying decades of determined efforts by park officials and others to remove them.....

There’s an old piece of folklore that says mysterious knots or tangles found in a horse’s mane were never made by wind or brush, but by the fairies themselves.

Legend says that when a child leaves this earth, Heaven weeps. The angels’ tears fall so softly and heavily that a great mist covers the path home, making it hard to guide the child’s soul through the clouds. So the fairies step in to help.

Small but full of magic, they cannot make the journey alone. Under moonlight, while the world sleeps, they slip quietly into the fields and borrow the horses of the earth. Into their manes they weave tiny braids and hidden knots, creating enchanted reins for the ride.

By dawn, the horses are returned to their pastures, a little wild-haired, a little sleepy, and carrying traces of where they’ve been.

So if you ever find a tangled knot in your horse’s mane, perhaps it wasn’t neglect at all… perhaps they were needed elsewhere in the night. ✨🐴
