[@ginahall8598]

What an awesome individual! All the good ones pass too soon. He had such a spiritual connection with his horses that many can never fathom. This is something that goes way back and anyone who speaks negatively of him, it's because they aren't even half the rider or person that Hermis Tall was.

so very sorry to hear, i gather, that he died. he was a beautiful, strong and compelling athlete, and very clearly a beautiful and gentle soul. I just watched the relay video and was looking for more about him.

You make your ancestors proud

[@lovingmymamalighter102]

Why aren't there any Comanche or Apache riders?? Just curious cause I don't know.

[@hao-weihsu2620]

Indian Relay is more of a Northern Plains sport. So you'll get mainly Northern tribes.

[@hughsmith7668]

What Comanche riders?

[@deborahwebb3736]

Thats how life is everywhere.. San Fran is turning into a slum and by 2033 LA will look like Brazil.

[@truthmatters7805]

True!!

[@olyokie]

Yeah not sure they had racetracks back in the day....this is just plain animal abuse. Have these youngsters sprint themselves. Takes little skill to ride in a circle.

[@imcavdb5465]

Greg Moore : these horses won't move an inch if they don't want to. The rider rides bareback and can buck the rider off anytime it wants to. I dare you to jump on a horse and ride like the wind. It's not easy and very dangerous. These men have cool minds, balls of steel and a kind horseloving heart.

[@olyokie]

@@imcavdb5465 .....I rode competively for 20 yrs. Nice try. It's animal abuse. Have these boys run themselves. That would require 10,000 times more skill, strength etc......

[@andyhigs6150]

Greg Moore I missed the part where the animals were being abused. Maybe you being an expert horse man can point it out to me.

[@olyokie]

@@andyhigs6150 .......have you ever ridden competitively princess....? Have you worked races? ....get your fat asses off these animals and run the race yourselves....but you're too soft and lazy....
