Horsemanship

Publication Year:

Publication Type: 
Program Highlight

The Nez Perce Tribe has developed its own breed of horse and horse registry. The horse is an important part of the Nez Perce
culture and history and the Tribe owns over 50 horses. The Tribe wants its members to have a “connection” to the horses. Many tribal members do not own a horse and most do not have a place to keep a horse. In addition, there are residents on the reservation who own horses but have minimal knowledge about horse care and horsemanship. There was no educational
program in place to teach basic horsemanship and horse care.
