From Christa Ruppert's Facebook post regarding her dad's book.
It wasn't easy to speak the truths of our lives and the struggles we've endured. The journey has been riddled with pain, sacrifice, and countless challenges. Yet, in sharing our story, we knew it was something that needed to be said—not for ourselves, but for the horses.
"Echoes of the Nokota" is a heartfelt testament to our relentless fight to preserve the Nokota horse breed. This fight transcends personal battles and touches on a broader mission to save a piece of history and a living symbol of resilience and freedom.
Our story is not just about survival; it's about the deep bond between humans and these magnificent creatures. The Nokota horses, native to America and intertwined with our cultural heritage, deserve to thrive and continue their legacy.
We invite you to read the true, unvarnished story told by all of us. It's a journey of dedication, hope, and the undying spirit of the Nokota horses. Your support and understanding can help ensure their future and honor the sacrifices made along the way.
Thank you for standing with us and embracing the echoes of the Nokotas. Together, we can make a difference.
