Native American Horse Gear
The acquisition of the horse transformed Plains Indian culture. Horses could move faster and carry far greater loads than any dog or human. Cisco’s collection of horse gear celebrates both the utilitarian and decorative aspects of late 19th and early 20th century Native American horsemanship. Our Plains and Plateau pieces includes a selection of saddles, saddle bags, martingales, and headstalls from the Sioux, Crow, and Nez Perce Indians.
