Man's family launches fundraiser to care for his horses

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The family of a rural North Dakota horseman who died this month is raising money to maintain the herd of nearly 200 Nokota horses for which he cared.

WDAY-TV reported Sunday that Leo Kuntz's family launched a GoFundMe page to raise $50,000 to care for the horses for up to a year while long-term arrangements are made. Kuntz founded the Nokota Horse Conservancy and coined the term for the breed.
The 69-year-old died on Aug. 12 after an accident on an all-terrain vehicle. He was the subject of a 2011 documentary called "NokotaHeart."
One of Kuntz's sisters, Felicia Rocholl, said he had only a small balance in his checking account and his family hasn't found a savings account.
