Horses

They first came to them in a group of red curly dogs. The color sorrel (red) and chestnut were preferred, because they were the correct colors of the breed. These were the first horses they saw. The Native Americans described these dogs as horses before there were so called hoses. The Northern Sioux tribes that the Curly Horse is shown in "Winter Counts" and the writings date back before the white man. After Wounded Knee, when the whit men killed Big Foot’ band of people and most of their horses, their were not many Curly Horses left on the Standing Rock and Fort Berthold Reservations in the Dakotas
