Best Answer

For many many reasons, such as war horse paint, medicine horse paint, hunting horse paint. They had many different symbols, varying between different tribes. such as the circle around the eye represents good vision, and hand prints indicate different things depending on where. the chest hand print shows that the war horse has ran a man down. multiple dots together may mean a prayer for hail to rain on the enemy. Its hard to find all the meanings of them and the various reasons.
