Both the American settlers and the Native Americans used them in war, and ironically, the Spanish Conquistadors may have been defeated by the very horses they brought to the New World. Kiger Mustangs are known for their stubbornness, but they are also known for their endurance and sure-footedness. They are versatile in their abilities; they are used on ranches, shown in various types of equestrian events, and are able to persevere through rough terrain. Once they bond with their rider, their trust and commitment is often stronger than that of other breeds of horses. These horses are known for their courage and determination.
It was started for the production of ranch, satisfaction, antagonism and adaptability horses that move with a true old style itinerant, single-footing gait. The North American Single-Footing Horse Association was started as a presentation based registry. It was started because trail riders needed a horse with some lift in the front so that they

The Rise and Fall of the Plains Indians Horse Cultures Pekka Hämäläinen Introduction The thesis in Mr. Hämäläinen’s article is “The horse era began for most Plains Indians with high expectations but soon collapses into a series of unsolvable economic, social, political, and ecological contradictions.” In “The Rise and Fall of the Plains Indian Horse Cultures,” Pekka Hämäläinen discusses how the introduction of horses by European explorers allowed the Plains Indians to transform themselves from obscure foot nomads into an equestrian people. Academia has commonly contrasted the achievements that the horse culture brought to native Americans with the death, disease, and despair that the Europeans brought to America. Hämäläinen proposes that today’s scholars consider the Plains Indian culture “the ultimate anomaly—ecological imperialism working to Indians’ advantage.” Many historians view the introduction of the horse and the Plains Indian culture as a success story. However, until looked into deeper, it is shown that horses in reality, brought “destabilization, dispossession, and destruction.” The horse was a two-edged sword. While it helped to move, hunt, trade, and fight, it led to the destruction of the environment, ruined economies, and uneven social pyramids.
The Slaughter of America’s Horses Any one who has wanted to travel to Europe or Asia, or go on a cross-country trip should follow along with one of many horses at local auctions. That s right, the symbols of the Wild West get to travel where most Americans will never go in their lifetime. However, its recommended that traveling and housing accommodation be booked separated from the horses. One morning they get on a trailer, a week or two later they are on plates as delicacies in other countries. For years the slaughter of horses has been a highly profitable, low guided practice and what takes place from the time killer-buyers get hold of them, to the time they become another dish, has been kept from the public.
Their nomadic lifestyle, families, and wealth made them appear as respectable people. Primarily because the rich culture was described in such a positive manner, Europeans developed a new interest in the people east of them. The results of this include the spread of the compass, papermaking, and printing to Europe which had not occurred before Polo’s book. An instigator¬¬¬ of communication between two completely separate places, Marco Polo made Yuan China and Mongol
Many people believe that the mustangs that roam the American west have been there since the beginning of time, but the reality is the iconic feral horses have only been there for about five hundred years. In the centuries that have followed the horses’ arrival to North America, the struggle for their freedom intensified; between American settlers capturing the horses for sale and slaughter, and the Native Americans capturing them for transportation reasons, the number of herds has dwindled drastically. The movie Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron, tells the story of a wild mustang stallion named Spirit in the nineteenth century Wild West that is captured by wranglers and taken to the U.S Cavalry, where they attempt and fail to break him. The

“England is rich in these advantages, that she has coal and iron lying close together, that her sheep give the best wool, that her harbors are plentiful, that she is no ill- off for rivers” ii.

Horses are very important because of their physical attributes that allows them to perform the militaristic duties. The horses were the perfect match for military chariots. Their strength and fat allows them to pull these chariots great lengths and speed over large periods of time. These horses made the best military-type animals just like how the Indians would later use elephants in their armies. The horse also made great peace-keeping animals.
