Indian Relay horse race dubbed “America's original extreme sport” | 60 Minutes

So incredible wow ❤❤❤❤

Someone has probably already mentioned this but, there is and old saying that “ the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a person.” This is true in countless ways.

I've called Sheridan, Wyoming my home for almost 34 years the Indian Relay races are my favorite rodeo event period the end

Love to see it

This is so incredible! The physical strength and stamina it takes to ride bareback, especially at a gallop, is insane. I can’t imagine jumping off and right back on again as well- SO much strength is required to be able to do that. I would love to learn more about what they look for. I imagine they prefer to find TBs who stand closer to 15h or are on the smaller side in general because it’s easier to mount and dismount. I’m so worried about the safety of the horses and the people involved, but I can see that the horses are all very well cared for and loved, and I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to avoid collisions. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! Although I hope to see this make its way into the mainstream, I certainly won’t be trying this on my ex-racehorse mare 🤣

THAS IS PICE QUEKE

I wounder why i dont see any haters crying for the safety of the horses. Come on where yall at. I want to see yall try to cancel this.

The Comanche and Apache were the first Horse Nations. They encountered the Spanish horses first. ❤

WTG Talia !!! ❤ Lilililililili

That’s kinda way me 55y ago and it’s in my heart ♥️ forever ❤️

Awsome.

This is such an incredible sport. My favorite.

I love horses and i respect cultures. Being from an indigenous race myself. But in todays world of what we know. Why the hell is this allowed, the dangers to the horses and people is ridiculous for entertainment!

wow chaz

Ken is absolutely correct, a full flat out run is like flying it’s so wonderful and smooth. When you have a horse wreck, not so much fun. I used to ride my horse bareback with just a leather thong on his lower jaw. My friend Lynnelle and I would do all kinds of crazy stunts on our horses. Good times.

beautiful

Awesome!! I rode my half arab/half thoroughbred bareback all through the Oregon fire trails.. nothing better than running flat out with a good horse.

Sad to see “tradition” used as a reason to abuse animals. And if you wanna argue it’s not, they have whips, they are ripping on these horses mouths with bits, and putting them in danger of injury.

Wow!! I grew up riding horses and I am a proud member of the Sault Ste Marie tribe of Chippewa Indians in Michigan! This is new and exciting to me!! I can feel their passion and I am definitely inspired for these young people. A horse can be the best of friends and make you a strong warrior!! Thank you for this story!

Can you imagine how much fun that horse is having? Just running like it was bred to do.

Seeing the young kids fall off the ponies, reminded me of the Dances With Wolves when the young men attempt to steal Kevin Costner army horse😅

This is fantastic. Always knew the Native Americans were great horsemen. But this sport is truly natures test for man and horse as a team. Better than baseball or American football, to my mind.

こんにちは😃😅😊❤

Great story. Beautiful horses ❤

My boyfriend’s buddy has family in Browning, Montana, who relays. Generations of racer winning championships over the years. I’m hoping I can watch this sport in person. I prefer it over any other horse sport. It’s definitely a lot more personable with equines than most other competitive sports.

Love this ❤ god bless from Pomona California

Sorry, but this is just stupid - without protective gear. It seems more about how many injured people (and horses?) than the race itself.

Amazing!

Been there, seen that a few times. Probably the most exciting thing you'll ever see.

Native Pride! Great luck this racing season, be well, be proud, be skilled, be blessed. Blackfeet Badazz's . See you all tomorrow at Emerald Downs.

Dude, Native American not Indians got it

Absolutely the MOST exciting sport ever!

❤

Is this at the North Dakota state now in Minot North Dakota

❤

🔥💪🏽

BRAGING RIGHTS 💪

That’s my cousin Chaz Racine from the Blackfeet rez

why are there high rates of suicide?? oh yeah its rape, and killing of each other that happens when people drink then start beef with each other

Is better than getting gored buy a running bull😂

What a great episode!! I envy their heritage and cultural pride. Excellent display of generational pride and connection with horses. Excellent.

Very interesting story about Indian relay horse racing ! . Thank you again 60 minutes for a good story !

My niece in Oakesdale knows Talia. They were doing the rodeo circuit

Attended this yesterday in Enoch, Alberta Canada

I love this. Please have more stories featuring Indigenous Americans, no matter what the topic is.

The mustang horse did NOT originate from spain. The research has been skewed for decades.

This is reflective of how horse racing was in great depression. Money and dangerous entertainment ("a lot of injuries") is so lucrative , kind of gladatorial / important. How many horses are injured. 100 k prize money. Indian relay is way for cultures to survive bad conditions and save our mustangs, too. But it is a shame it has to be as dangerous as horse racing became in great depression.
Scary that they are buying domestic sprinters. Poor horses. Their genetics may be fast but not tough. Not mustangs.

They "connect to 200 yrs ago, warrior background" but are turning toward domestic sprinters??? They need to honor the indian horse. The native horse.

Save tge american native horse because so many say they are pests and their genetics is being ignored (skewed tests) and destroyed.

Horses matter❤
