1723. Three hundred years ago. Right here in Omaha, horses were serving as essential contributors to Native American livelihood across the Great Plains region.

That’s our history, our heritage.

Historical documentation tells us that horses were captured by The Dakota/Lakota people from the Umonhon people in 1709-10. The horse’s impact in the Great Plains grew exponentially from that point on. To Native Americans in this region, horses were more than animals – they were valued and respected members of the tribe. The status of the family, village and nation was often linked to the number of horses accumulated over time. Indigenous people relied on horses to transform hunting tactics, inspire artistry and strengthen transportation routes.

Tribes created ceremonies, stories, songs and dances to explain the acts of valor and victory that they experienced with the help of their horses. Horses were celebrated then, just as the champion horses of today will be honored for world-class performance at the FEI World Cup™ Finals.

To pay homage to the horse’s regional tradition and cultural impact, the FEI World Cup™ Finals Omaha 2023 will infuse tributes to Native American heritage into the event’s integrated theme. Omaha Equestrian Foundation, which operates the World Cup™ Finals, is creating an educational and entertainment program in partnership with Bluebird Cultural Initiative, a nonprofit dedicated to enriching community understanding of Native American history.
