"The Buffalo Horse sculpture is a celebration of the horse that the Plains Indians wanted to honor and adorn with feathers and medallions. This was a brave horse that the Indians could ride into a herd of buffalo and get close up so that a buffalo could be harvested. A brave horse like this was rare and valuable, for it meant food for the family. These horses were often keep inside and watched closely so as not to be stolen. Trading these horses was rare, but if traded they brought a high value. Flintlock rifles and quivers with arrows might be traded for this horse."
