Martha Wadsworth &
Harriet Wadsworth Harper
It was the fact that Harriet and Martha are the only long riders in history to have undertaken an equestrian journey together during which both riders used a side-saddle. In May 1907 they made a 1200-mile journey.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce people, who lived in what today is eastern Washington and Oregon obtained horses from the Shoshone people circa 1730, and from there took advantage of the fact that they lived in excellent horse-breeding country, relatively safe from the raids of other tribes, and developed strict breeding selection practices for their animals.They were one of the few tribes to actively use the practice of gelding inferior male horses, and actively traded away poorer stock to remove unsuitable animals from the gene pool,and became known as notable horse breeders by the early 1800s. These early Nez Perce horses were considered to be of high quality. Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition wrote in his February 15, 1806 journal entry: “Their horses appear to be of an excellent race; they are lofty, eligantly formed, active and durable: in short many of them look like fine English horses and would make a figure in any country.” Lewis did note spotting patterns, saying, “…some of these horses are pided with large spots of white irregularly scattered and intermixed with black, brown, bey or some other dark color.” Here is a good link to read about it.
