Education. Conservation. Natural Horsemanship.
The Center for America's First Horse, Inc. in Johnson, Vermont is an organization committed to saving the Colonial Spanish horse also called the Spanish mustang, Spanish Barb, or American Indian pony. We offer educational tours, internships, natural horsemanship and volunteer opportunities. Our programs provide hands-on experiences with our Colonial Spanish horses in a safe, relaxed and professional learning environment.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of people through the spirit of the Colonial Spanish Horse. We are dedicated to being stewards of this rare breed, conserving them through education and public awareness.
The Center for America's First Horse is home to the most diverse group of Colonial Spanish horses in the eastern United States, and is also home to equine celebrity "Oscar", known for his role in Disney's epic adventure movie, Hidalgo.The Center depends on private donations, sponsorship, grants, fundraising and revenue from it's programs to meet operating expenses. 100% of all revenue goes directly to our programs and expenses.

A Message from Stephanie Lockhart, Founder
Welcome! The creation of a hands-on educational center has been a vision of mine since I embraced our first Colonial Spanish horse. Through dedication and the help of our supporters and donors, this vision has become a reality.
My hope is that each visitor to The Center, this website, or a public event we attend, will walk away with a better understanding of the Colonial Spanish horse and how critically important they were in the founding of America, as well as seeing them as versatile mounts for today's riders. Education is the key. We hope you will schedule a visit to The Center soon!
As our organization continues to develop, so do our needs. Our goal of self sustainability is paramount, especially in these difficult economic times. Through your participation in many different ways, we can bring people and the Colonial Spanish horses together to continue our important work.
There are no government programs to save these horses, only individuals, organizations, and registries dedicated to their survival for future generations. Please join us in our efforts!
With gratitude,
