Just caught this special on over-the-air PBS...one of my favorites that I've seen throughout the 2024 schedule for Native American Heritage Month. Beautiful 🥲🐎💝💝💝.

“Yvette Running Horse Collin‘s recent dissertation, historical documents and oral histories present a compelling new story of the horse in the Americas.“

“Collin currently takes care of over 100 horses she claims to be descendants of the ancient horse of the Americas. Some have manes that grow down to the ground. Some have stripes on their legs. Some have spots all over.

👇

AnnCrystal Some are much smaller than most horses. Some have curly hair.“

“Collin seeks to inspire more research to illuminate the truth behind what the government has labeled as “feral” so that wild horses can be protected by the Indigenous Species Act. Currently, they are being run down and mass slaughtered if they are in the way of certain commercial projects.“

AnnCrystal “The wonderful thing is that we now have Western technology that can provide very accurate dates,” said Collin in a recent interview. “Many studies show that these horses were present after the very same Ice Age that supposedly wiped out them all out.“

Applies?? Forgive my lack of true equine knowledge. Appaloosa, like in the photo?? As in the The Nez Perce Horse? You had one! Wow, that is fantastic 💕🐎💝.

TheSpineView Yes, I had an Appaloosa as my first horse. I had a pony when I was young. But my first "horse" was the Appie(slang in the horse world). Her name was Tarquita. Loved that horse. I put thousands of miles on those hooves. 4w

Thank you @Eggs for creating this fun play-card.

1- I usually have about 10-15 minutes during per day to read. Then I normally read about 30 minutes to two hours (give or take) before bed each night. Roughly around, 25-65 pages per day.

2 - Normally, I won't finish a book that gives signs of being a disappointment. However, I recently read two books that I really should have quit reading. 👇

AnnCrystal Twisted Love by Ana Huang and Never by Jessa Hastings.

3 - Mud Pony: A Traditional Skidi Pawnee Tale by Caron Lee Cohen.

This was an important book for me as a child. One of the few books with a “Native American“ storyline, and my childhood self understood the rarity.

While not from my ancestral tribes, this was a story from my ancestral world. I loved this story and would spend untold hours studying the illustrations.

Just reread this, and the story is still as profound to me today as it had been all those many years ago. I've fallen in love all over again. 👇

AnnCrystal The following is unrelated to this book, yet equally aligned with my childhood obsession of horses because of this book.

Was raised to know that there was a breed of horse “already here“ in the Americas. My mom told me this as a little girl, and I continued to believe even when I later read otherwise. 👇

AnnCrystal Now articles about this fact are being reported, about the survival of the original horse breed from before these lands were known as the Americas.

While I love all breeds of horses 🐴💝🐎, this is just absolutely fantastically epic!
