Red Road Farm

	Welcome to Red Road Farm
	Here in the foothills of Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom, we are dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the rare horse known variously as the Spanish Mustang, Barb, Original American Indian horse, and more recently and accurately as the Spanish Colonial Horse. Founded as a conservancy by writer and filmmaker John Fusco ("Thunderheart," "Hidalgo," "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron") in 1997, the land was ceremonially named Red Road Farm or "Canku Luta," by the late Lakota elder and horseman, Stephen Red Bow who spent his last summers with us, living among the last horses from his people's history and culture. To walk "the Good Red Road," is a commitment and responsibility not taken lightly. We feel privileged to be stewards of these unique horses, preserving them for the next generations. At Red Road Farm, life-long equestrian and trainer, Stephanie Lockhart is proud to be the only East Coast representative of Baca Chica Farm of New Mexico, specializing in the preservation of this unique strain of Colonial Spanish Horse. This Summer, Stephanie will be training and making these rare historical treasures available (to qualified owners) for the first time in the Northeast. Click here for information on Baca Chica Farm. We are also proud to announce the Choctaw Indian Pony Conservation Program under the guidance of Dr. Phil Sponenberg, Professor of Pathology and Genetics at Virginia Tech. The historical record for these nearly-extinct "Trail of Tears" horses is extensive, and there are more details and oral pedigrees known for this strain than for most strains of Indian horses. But they are surviving by a thin thread. Click here to find out how you can help save the Original Type Choctaw Indian Pony before its too late. "The horses are returning." --Lakota Horse Dance Song
