The Legend of Hidalgo
As told by:
Runs-with-the-Buffalo AKA Leo Pard
Northern Pikunii, Blackfoot elder
(Recorded by Angelique Midthunder)
This Indian had a pinto horse. And he used to race people, all kinds of people. Different ones would claim they had a real fast horse and he kept meeting all challengers and he kept beating them.
Finally these people from across the ocean heard about this horse. So they came and they challenged the owner of this pinto horse. They said, “We have horses across the sea that are the fastest horses anyplace and we know we can beat your horse.”
So they loaded up the horse, took it across the ocean and held a race. They said the rider, this Indian guy, kind of held his horse up. He was trailing, and these Arabians were leaving him in the dust. Until finally they started coming up towards the final part of the race and this guy turned his pinto horse loose and he came up and left everybody.
So be it…
