Choctaw and Baca Strains

The Colonial Spanish Horse exists today in several different strains. Members of a given strain share a genetic history and often are very similar in type with each other. Two of the most interesting strains of Colonial Spanish horse are the Choctaw Indian Ponies from Oklahoma and the Baca strain from New Mexico. Though of different origin and history what both of these strains have in common is Stephanie Lockhart who in recent years has worked tirelessly to protect and promote these strains.
She graciously agreed to take a little time out and participate in our series of interviews with a wide range of people who have been part of promoting Colonial Spanish Horses or natural horse care. Assuming that I do not over sleep in the morning, I will have her interview up next.
