About Us
The Crazy
 Ranch: Welcome to Nokotas® of the Crazy
 Ranch. Our small ranch is located near Hayfield, Minnesota, which is located in the southeast part of the state. We do hope you will visit us
when you’re in the area. – Dave & Nola Robson
About our ranch name
The name “Crazy
Ranch” exemplifies a bit of humor about how “crazy” we must be for spending so much time caring for and raising horses! The ranch name was dubbed when
we were returning from a trail ride in Wyoming a few years ago -- jokingly saying “we must
be crazy” to spend the time (and money) we do on our horses and mules. (Yes, we also have
mules.) By the time we had reached home, we decided on the Crazy
Ranch name and had even chosen a logo and brand. The brand is a registered brand and we freeze-brand
many of our horses and mules.
About our equine interest
We enjoy trail riding with our horses (and mules) and do some training as well. In addition,
we are preservation breeders of the rare and unique Nokota® horse. We have had
Nokotas® for several years and wish to educate other horse enthusiasts about the Nokota®
horse. We hope they will come to know and appreciate the calm and inquisitive nature of
this breed.
About US
About us Nola was born and raised in North Dakota. She has loved horses from the time
she was a little girl growing up on the plains and remembers traveling to Medora, ND, each
summer, for their family vacation. She was especially proud when she learned her home
state declared the Nokota horse as the Honorary State of North Dakota Horse.
Dave was born in Ohio and grew up with horse and mules as his family logged in the huge
forests near their home place. He learned to work with, and respect, horses and mules at a
very young age working along side his father in the hilly countryside of Southern Ohio. A
strong interest in history played a big part of the intrigue to know more, when Dave first
learned about the Nokota® and its background. Dave also has an avid interest in Native
American history.
