What Color is the Wind?
I am not sure but the best place to find out is Wind Rider Farm in Pennsylvania. That is where Monique Sheaffer is working diligently to preserve the Choctaw strain of Colonial Spanish horses.
Choctaw horses have perhaps the most beautiful movement of any of the strains and their color patterns cause them to appear to move even when standing still. If the wind ate grass it would become a Choctaw horse.

Oh yes--I love the Choctaws, too, Steve. I am a fan of all the Jones strains but the Choctaw and the few still carrying Huasteca blood are my favs--maybe of them all. Keep up the good work, Monique!
Easy..The wind is blew. -Lloyd
