The age of the culture of horse riding Indian

Before we begin, I would like to thank Donovin Sprague Hump, Black Hills State University instructor, author and historian. Descendant of Chief Hump and Crazy Horse family. In addition, Dave Reynolds for helping to research this area, and contributing part of the historical literature used for this research.

The Conquistadores adopted an ordinance that, shortly after his arrival in the Americas, which prohibits mounting any Indian a horse. They encouraged the Indians to believe that the horses ate human flesh. In 1582 Antonio Espejo still counting the Indians were fierce horses …". However, not the Indians took the time to realize that being a man, like the Spanish, could also mount.

As the farms grew, the need for cowboys working cows, was occupied by the assembly of the servants of India. Santa Fe became the most prominent place for the distribution of the Spanish Mustang on the landscape North American native tribes. At first the Indians reached horses through raids on Spanish settlements in Santa Fe, El Paso and the Rio Bravo. They were also sacked as Chihuahua and Sonora in northern Mexico. Although many tribes acquired horses, was the Plains tribes, which soon became in excellent rider and horse warriors to keep talking about history. The horse owners did the buffalo herds that gave them food, shelter, bedding, tools, saddles, ribbons and the core of their religion.

The beginning of the 17th century brought a new era for both Native Americans and whites, this date marked the introduction the horse in Indian culture. One hundred years the horse population had grown into the tens of thousands of people among the nations of the Comanche, Crow, Cheyenne, Sioux, Arapaho, Kiowa, Nez Perce, Pawnee and Blackfoot. It had become a measure of wealth, commerce and class, the principal means of hunting buffalo and a tactical instrument of war.

Riding at full gallop with no more than a skin tight to put the horse again to confuse generations of rider Europe to follow in the West. The Indian and Spanish Mustang were inseparable companions, sharing a deep sense of friendship and understanding that has not been equaled since then.

Blackfoot war aimed at the acquisition of territory or extermination of other tribes, but the capture of the horses of the enemy tribes. Many from attacks by the Blackfeet were carried out by aa poor families who were trying to improve their lot. These groups invaders offered training camp for the young warrior. Horses were not received, but to be paid for learning the art of stealing horses. The parties horse raids were conducted by experienced men were men lead in enemy camps and captured quantities plenty of horses, to go home with few casualties.
Among the horse Comanche added a new source of economic power and political, to control access to the horse, a horse owner could control access to hunting buffalo. Communal hunting pre-horse gave way to cultural Comanche the person on horseback buffalo hunter. U.S. observers from the Comanches, in the 19th century, reported concentrations of horses numbering from of 3000-5000, most with Spanish brands. The success of the warriors were from 50 to 200 horsepower each. Labadi In 1867, an agent of India reported 15 000 horses in the fields of Comanche on the plains of Texas.

Among the Sioux the horse was more than just an animal was seen as "medicine", with a power supernatural. Owning a horse gave him a personal healer, in hunting and war. With time the horse became the symbol of wealth and a medium of exchange. The man with the fastest horse could kill more buffalo and assume a different position of the less fortunate. The horse became the way economic stability and social status. large herds of horses were not easy to acquire. The horses were not bred successfully, although attempts were made between Sioux. The primary method by which value is reset was the capture of wild horses or stolen from other tribes.

The Ravens raised horses, ponies with string went beautifully and owned more horses than any other tribe in Missouri. The Crow and the Blackfeet were constantly attacking each other's horses.

The Nez Perce became known for its extraordinary variety known as Spanish Horses Appaloosas, the name comes from the Palouse River in western Idaho and eastern Washington. Lewis and Clark wrote that "are of various colors, with large white blotches scattered and mixed with black, dark brown, bey or other, but much are the largest portion of uniform color with stars, strips and white feet …". It is believed that the Nez Perce were practicing selective breeding. horses Spanish Horses Stained which occurred ran. If the Nex Perce began raising them from a considerable collection of individuals or only one pair or two is not known. Most of these horses were identified by Lewis and Clark to take Spanish brands. The Nez Perce were protected from attacks from the mountains and this is what allowed them to do this breeding.

In the book of John C. Cremony 's "Life Among the" Apaches, written in 1868, writes "… after of a successful attack, which has captured many animals, and have selected the best for riding, resistance to retire to some distance to feed others as long as last …". This marks an important fact. That is, with this method they were doing selective breeding. Just keeping of horses that best suited their purposes and use the other for survival. As the Apaches were the most likely, the first Native American North to get the horse who used selective breeding process to promote the Spanish Mustangs qualities of endurance, speed, flexibility and endurance, traits that their survival depended. Although you may not have been a conscious decision on the results obtained the same goals.

good horses were more abundant between the northern tribes, this was due to the ranges of the North are more conducive to the growth in livestock. That was the reason, later, the Texas cattlemen moved his Longhorns to Wyoming and Montana to fill and add weight.

With the acquisition of the Northwest Territory, the Northern Europeans in eastern United States began to move west and came into contact with the Plains Indians and their herds of Spanish Mustangs. As the 19th minutes, the horses of the plains Indians ceased to be Spanish of blood out like many bands of wild horses. Taking horses where they could find them, the Indians of the Llanos Orientales mix their actions with horses English-speaking Americans. J. Frank Dobie said: "These horses were called patriotic" American. " There were a race, they were more fixed in American type dogs, which were larger than the Spanish-Indian-Western horse. For most of American patriots, the great thing had become a synonymous with superiority. "

The age of the horse culture lasted from the 17th century until the late 1800s. The Spanish Mustang reconfigured life and culture of Native Americans of the plains and infused the history of the West with some of the most daring and courageous horse known. Unfortunately information, not enough registered in this period. Many of the artists of the time were not very good at the anatomy and do not represent the Indian horse with precision. The Indian had an oral history as the wonder of the picture reached the plains of the photographers seemed to disregard the horse as part of culture indigenous society and concentrated on the portraits of the Indians in their attire. We rely primarily on European accounts of what was seen or told to them by different tribes they found. Native Americans and the Spanish Mustang were made for each other, the two had extreme desire for independence and survival and love for the vast country that nourishes them.
