The Comanche were "The Lords of the Southern Plains" because of their success with the horse. They not only raided other tribes and settlers (amassing wealth) but owned large herds of fine horses.

The arrival of Spanish settlers in the Southwest brought horses. With the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, Spanish settlers were pushed out of what is now New Mexico and herds of horses were left behind. The Comanche consequently became expert horsemen and were known as "The Lords of the Southern Plains." The Comanche were dominant because of their effective use of horses in the buffalo hunt, transportation, and raids against settlers and other tribes.
