In this July 17, 2018, photo, a Pine Tacky Choctaw cross stud colt is seen on Bill Frank Brown's farm in Poplarville, Miss. An aging stallion found by accident on a Mississippi farm is bringing the first new blood in a century for a line of horses brought to America by Spanish conquistadors and bred by Choctaw Indians who were later forced out of their ancestral homelands.

“...Another Elizabeth Warren post...”

I believe she’s genetically very close to the south end of one of the north bound steeds.

Thanks for the post. I am Choctaw and have been watching the “comeback” of the little Choctaw ponies for a long time. Traditionally, the Choctaw used them for pack ponies probably more than they rode them.

Their “pedigree” is more interesting and diverse than Elizabeth Warrens, though.
