Once this happened, they were no longer migratory as they relied on the Hudsons Bay company's goods, and so they stayed where the trading posts were so that they could trade with the Hudsons Bay company.

How did the horse changed life for the plains Indians?
Horses made it easier for Plains tribes to hunt, and also made it far easier for them to travel. They could suddenly travel much faster than they originally could on foot, and they could also carry more than they used to as well. The ability to carry more things allowed plains tribes to become a bit more materialistic, that is, they began accumulating more possessions just because they could carry them. I hope that helps!
