Florida Cracker Cattle

"Sponenberg also ran across another Spanish livestock breed in his travels through the South - Pineywoods cattle. They are now largely in Mississippi and Alabama, although some are in Florida, where they are called Florida Cracker Cattle. "

My family had one of those painted pintos ponies when I was growing up on the farm. Her name was Paint and she was brought to Georgia from Oklahoma. She was trained as a cutting horse and my uncle saved her when she was retired from the ranch. She made an exciting ride for a young kid if she got to close to the cattle. Her instincts and training would kick in and she would begin trying to herd them like the Oklahoma Cow Pony she was.
