"My father was a very rich man and owned many ponies in four colors: roans, white, and grey” Sitting Bull (North Dakota History 1962 in McLaughlin 1989)
Welcome to Full Moon Rising Nokota Horses.
We are a small farm in Welch, Minnesota. Welch is located in the bluffs of southeastern Minnesota between the towns of Hastings and Red Wing. While having horses in our lives for many years we have always wished to become more involved. While experiencing and enjoying various breeds, we were just not quite able to find the right breed for us. Then came the Fall of 2005 and an article on the Nokota Horse in Cowboys and Indians magazine. We were absolutely smitten. With a long standing interest in the Native American culture and horses, the Nokota was the horse for us. As you work your way through our site and begin your research, we hope you will come to appreciate the horse also. There is so much to learn.
Please refer to our Nokota History page as a start. We have attempted to summarize some of this fascinating story in order to give you a beginning appreciation of this great horse. We have found that understanding the story these horses have to tell has become as much fun and interesting as owning the horse is.
….by the way…I always wonder what’s in a name…Full Moon Rising?
Well, we have some of the most awesome Full Moon Risings you could ever imagine. One of our favorite things to do in the late evenings is to sit at the end of our barn overlooking our pastures and watch that glorious Full Moon Rise! So be it…enjoy the history and thanks for stopping.
