North America didn't originally have horses. When they were brought in, the Apache, more than any other indigenous group, structured their entire way of life around them. At least, that's what I learned from Western movies.

Interesting. I knew about the horses being non-native. But the Apache part not.

Is there something that made them more likely to benefit from being a horse-culture?

Living on Steppes and Plains?

Horses are native to the americas. They evolved there and spreaded to asia but went extinct in america around the end of the ice age.

They were too tasty for their own good.
