A friend who was raised near Linton told me about the Nakota horses about a year ago, but I have never yet seen one.  From what I understand, these wild horses have a lot of history in the Northern Great Plains.  Read more about them at the North Dakota Horse Conservancy.

According to this KX News article, there are less than 500 Nakota horses in the nation. 

My favorite part of this article:

Emma Zeigler made the move all the way from Sweden to Linton to be with the Nakotas

Emma Zeigler / From Sweden: “North Dakota is a very special place I think. I really, really like the prairie [and] the rolling hills. When the sun is going down it gets this golden color on the green hills. It is just so pretty, it is just a good atmosphere. People are very friendly, very open.”
