Horse culture

The term "Horse culture" is used to define a tribal group or community whose day to day life revolves around the herding and breeding of horses. Notable examples are the American Indians of the Great Plains and the Mongols of Mongolia.

History is littered with examples of a horse culture, such as the Huns, Sarmatians and many Indo-European peoples. Horse cultures tend to place a great deal of importance on horses and by their very nature are a nomadic people, usually hunter-gatherers.
