Some say the Indians stole horses from the Spanish. This is possible, but some also say horses came over the 'land bridge' from Russian territory and evolved into ponies and horses. Of course, some say bones of the tiny prehistoric ancestorof the horse, were found in many continents.
Who really knows? All of these seem plausible.
Sheep and horses were lost by the Spanish in 1540 Coronado expedition. Corondo brought 5,000 sheep on his trip and some were lost in New Mexico. In 1598, Don Juan de Oñate brought settlers and 2,900 sheep to New Mexico. By the mid 1600s the Navajo were raising sheep and horses and were changing from weaving with cotton to weaving with wool.
The Navajo people learned to ride horses from the Spanish in the 16th century. Following the introduction of horses to the Americas, the Navajo quickly adapted to riding and herding, which became integral to their culture and way of life. This skill allowed them to enhance their mobility, hunting, and livestock management. Over time, horses became an essential part of Navajo identity and tradition.
