I found out just 6 years ago that I'm Sioux. So I'm like a child and just learning our history. And I'm in my 60's. But as you said horse is our relative and that's so true. As a child I asked my Dad many times for a horse never a pony. At 7 I got my pony only cause uncle said a mean pony would teach me how to ride and pony did just that. Then came my big mare. Everything he said in this video is so true. I tell my relatives that have passed on everyday I still tell them I miss and love them.
That's awesome! It's an amazing culture and I enjoyed learning about it while I filmed this story
When you write bareback, you can feel the horses nerves. All of his moves, it puts you in better connection with the horse
Excellent video
The coolest team sport by far. Total teamwork between brave horses and brave men.
I’d love to witness this in person! When will it be in Montana?
Go to a rodeo and they have it
Bareback is the hardest but the only way to ride
*promosm* 😱
I don't know what's said about how they got the horse, the FACT is thank you, white man for the gift.
"Native Americans spread the animals across the West before Europeans arrived in the region, archaeological evidence and Indigenous knowledge show.
...
Horses evolved in the Americas around four million years ago, but by about 10,000 years ago, they had mostly disappeared from the fossil record, per the Conversation. Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519, when Hernán Cortés arrived on the continent in Mexico. ... Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networks."
