What's an Indian Horse you might ask yourself? I do not know the facts. I never took the time to memorize just what makes a Horse an Indian Horse. I can tell you what I think makes a Horse an Indian Horse.
Indians were nearly fearless. They lived in a world that was steadily changing. People from England, Spain, Mexico, and many other countries were flocking to the "New World." They were being driven from their land. They were cheated and robbed. They were carelessly killed. Disadvanteges like language barriers, race, and even there thoughts on just what was going on seperated them from the other people. They had to learn to survive in a world that did not have room or time for their survivial, nor' did it have the want neccesarily for them to survive.
They had to be fearless, quick, strong, intellegent, and wise. They knew the land better than anyone and they had to use it to live. This wasn't a problem though. For a long time they went untouched. Their life was rather simple from what it was to become soon. The Indians had one thing there for them though. Something more trustworthy than any person they had met. That was their Indian Horse.
To get back to the question what makes a Horse an Indian horse, it's not so much a breed, a lineage, or a certain sire and dam. It's spirit.
The Corolla's have the spirit of an Indian. They live nearly fearlessly. They have been driven from their land. They have been cheated and robbed of things like fresh water. They have been carelessly killed and they have the biggest disadvantage of all, they are not human. They have had to live in a world that has changed so much. A world that does not have room, time, or even a want for them to be a part of it. A long time ago their life was simple much like the Indians. Man changed all of that. These horses are more trustworthy and in a way more worth the time than anybody I have met.
So to tell you the truth Im not sure I want to know what makes a Horse an Indian Horse. I could know all the facts and still be completely blind to what an Indian Horse is. To me it is a Horse that has been there and gone through what and Indian has and most of all their spirit hasn't changed since they outlived the people that rode them through the making of America.
