The Native American tribes, especially the Sioux, Apache, Crow, Comanche, Nez Perce, and Blackfoot became expert horsemen. And horses became so much a part of these tribes that they have been dubbed the “horse nations”.
As David Phillips points out in his book Wild Horse Country, “The Apache said the Creator made the horse, using lightning for its breath, rainbows for its hooves, the evening star for its eyes, crescent moons for its ears, and a whirlwind for its power and speed.”
Native Americans believed pinto horses could protect them from death or injury during a conflict.
