Answer 2

From the Wikipedia source, I'd say it was the Bedouins.

"History of horse breeding," from Wikipedia:

The history of horse breeding goes back millennia. Though the precise date is in dispute, humans could have domesticated the horse as far back as approximately 4500 BCE. However, evidence of planned breeding has a more blurry history.

One of the earliest people known to document the breedings of their horses were the Bedouin of the Middle East, the breeders of the Arabian horse. While it is difficult to determine how far back the Bedouin passed on pedigree information via an oral tradition, there were written pedigrees of Arabian horses by A.D. 1330. The Akhal-Teke of West-Central Asia is another breed with roots in ancient times that was also bred specifically for war and racing. The nomads of the Mongolian steppes bred horses for several thousand years as well.

Answer 3

the answer is number 1, the Nez Perce, they had their own breed of horses.

Answer 4

All the answers are correct... if this is an example of your homework your teacher should be sacked!

Answer 5

Native americans didn't have horses (taken to US by pioneers), Irish didn't travel on horses (well, not famous for it), Mongolians had a short-legged strong type, bedouins might MIGHT have bred arabs horses.

Answer 6

Eurasian nomads have been known historically and pre-historically as important Horse People and to have the best trained horses around. The horse is said to have originated in that region. Given from your list the closest people you have listed from that region are the Mongolians, I'd go with them.

Answer 7

Native Americans

Answer 8

A. Native Americans.

I heard that the Shoshone (excuse my spelling if i got it wrong) bread some of the best horses, Lewis and Clark borrowed some from them i believe.

Answer 9

For hundreds of years, the nomadic people known as gypsies have traveled the roads of Europe and the U.K. in beautifully carved and decorated living wagons. To maintain this wandering way of life, they created an extraordinary breed of horse, with enough endurance and strength to pull a heavy wagon all day, the ability to subsist on whatever grazing it could find on the side of the road, and an extremely calm temperament, since a moment's panic could quite literally result in the destruction of its master's home. The result, after hundreds of years of selective breeding, is a beautiful, powerful and supremely gentle animal-the Gypsy Cob.

i found onemre type of nomads jus go through this too..

Eurasian nomads are a large group of peoples of the Eurasian Steppe. This generic title encompasses the ethnic groups inhabiting the steppes of Central Asia, Mongolia, and Eastern Europe. They domesticated the horse, and their economy and culture emphasizes horse breeding and horse riding. They developed the chariot, cavalry, and horse archery, introducing innovations such as the bridle, bit, and stirrup, and often appear in history as invaders of Europe, Anatolia, and China. Horse people is a generalized and somewhat obsolete term for such nomads.

The Roman army hired Sarmatians as elite cavalrymen. Europe was exposed to several waves of invasions by horse people, from the Cimmerians in the 8th century BC, down to the Migration period, and the Mongols and Seljuks in the High Middle Ages, and the Kalmuks and the Kazakhs down into modern times. The earliest example of an invasion by a horse people may have been by the Proto-Indo-Europeans themselves, following the domestication of the horse in the 4th millennium BC (see Kurgan hypothesis). Cimmerian is the first invasion of equestrian steppe nomads that we can grasp from historical sources. The "Huns" of the Migration period were not a single ethnicity, but a conglomerate of Mongolian, Turkic, Iranian and Germanic and Slavic warbands. Hermannus Contractus in the entry for the year 379 in his Chronicon lists Gothos, Hunnos, Alanosque as virtual synonyms.

The concept of "horse people" was of some importance in 19th century scholarship, in connection with the rediscovery of Germanic pagan culture by Romanticism (see Viking revival), which idealized the Goths in particular as a heroic horse-people. J. R. R. Tolkien's Rohirrim may be seen as an idealized Germanic people influenced by these romantic notions. These peoples gave rise to the myth of the Amazons from the practise of some women being horse archers.

They can be divided into several large groups, on linguistic grounds:

Indo-European

Proto-Indo-Europeans (Chalcolithic/Bronze Age)

Indo-Iranians (Bronze Age/Iron Age)

Indo-Aryans

Iranians

Altaic

Mongols

Tungusic

Turkic

Uralic

Ugric (Magyar)

Finnic

Chronological list:

Iron Age/Classical Antiquity

Cimmerians | Issedones / Wusun | Parthians / Parni | Saka / Issedones / Massagetae / Scythians / Sarmatians | Sigynnae | Yuezhi / Hephthalites

Migration period

Alans | Avars | Gepids | Goths | Huns | Rugians | Xiongnu
