- Indian Relay, dubbed “America's original extreme sport,” has roots dating back centuries to horse stealing raids. Native Americans are keeping the dangerous and compelling racing tradition alive.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

As a former training jockey I can say horse hopping has a true leap of faith for both man and horse; the combined energies become self fueling. I love it.
and you know all of us as kids tried it on our small quarter horses or ponies and got our brains rattled!!
@@Fitness23 hahaha what a memory blast from the past, those shetland ponies were the shortlegged fastest darters and trotting brain rattlers we rode.
Incredible horsemanship! I was a Jockey in the early 1970s and I can tell you the thrill of riding a Thoroughbred is out of this world. To do it ala Indian, bareback and as a relay team is out of this universe! I so enjoyed this I want to go west and watch a race in person. Yes, Churchill Downs should run an Indian Relay Race as an exhibition event. Race fans would love it!
Churchill Downs should run Indian Relay as a regular, premier event.
Incredible horsemen and horsewomen. Very inspiring story and I love the history of it. Thank you for doing this story!
Doesn't get better than this... I used to do this at 14 years of age.
Talk about adrenaline and feeling the true spirit of the beloved horse.
Those muscles rippling under you.. Nothing comes close.
This is when you become one with the horse! ❤💪❤

These guys aren't "one" with the horse at all hahaha. They are smacking the crap out of the horses
Exatamente o mesmo comigo, mas continuo comendo hambúrgueres vencidos com meus amigos
- Indian relay races originate from steeling horses.
- Nascar racing originates from bootlegging.
Just funny that they all seem to originate from crimes.
These are the types of events Americans should be promoting as part of their native culture.This should be an event as big as the baseball world series.
Horse abuse?
it would bring out all crazies that hate all things horse. They want horses to be separated from humans because they love seeing abuse in all things horse. In NYC they think horses walking in Central Park, a park built for HORSES is cruel. This needs to be kept private so horse haters can not ruin all the good.
No, it should remain in obscurity less it be attacked by the animal obsessed
@@tropicaoptica it would be epic to regulate it to have the horses comply to certain rights and treatments, kind of like an athlete. To keep it natural, and competitive.
@@mitchgann1469 they have some reason, some good horse health regulation could help, treat the horses like athletes.
Someone has probably already mentioned this but, there is and old saying that “ the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a person.” This is true in countless ways.
I never heard that! How perfectly lovely and true.
Winston Churchill said that.
I was leading jockey in Walla Walla and have a buckle just like her's.❤🐎🐎🐎🐎
How did I just learn of this!? Wow! I would love to experience this type of horse racing.
This is so incredible! The physical strength and stamina it takes to ride bareback, especially at a gallop, is insane. I can’t imagine jumping off and right back on again as well- SO much strength is required to be able to do that. I would love to learn more about what they look for. I imagine they prefer to find TBs who stand closer to 15h or are on the smaller side in general because it’s easier to mount and dismount. I’m so worried about the safety of the horses and the people involved, but I can see that the horses are all very well cared for and loved, and I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to avoid collisions. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! Although I hope to see this make its way into the mainstream, I certainly won’t be trying this on my ex-racehorse mare 🤣
My nephew does this in Montana. It’s amazing
Wow!! I grew up riding horses and I am a proud member of the Sault Ste Marie tribe of Chippewa Indians in Michigan! This is new and exciting to me!! I can feel their passion and I am definitely inspired for these young people. A horse can be the best of friends and make you a strong warrior!! Thank you for this story!
Don't ever allow the horse haters to destroy another historic epic team of horse n rider.
Well said, but sadly those type of persons seems to be very convinced that it's their way or no way.
who exactly are horse haters? Who actively hates horses?
Wow ! Just WOW !! I’d love to try this if I was 20 yrs younger !! So much more intense and interesting than plain ole horse racing !!!
Do they welcome non natives to watch ? If so, I’d love to attend.
Good luck to all doing this awesome sport !!
All are welcome. ❤
Lembro que comi um hambúrguer vencido com meus amigos antes disso, mas pelo menos ganhamos o turbo de chocolate durante a corrida
I love it! Keep up the great work!!
Now that's real horse racing to heck with the Kentucky Derby
Mate makes our Australian Melbourne Cup look like a sunday picnic meeting. This is hard core ❤ brave warriors in every sense of the word more power to the Horse Nations. Respect from Australia 🦘🐨
What a great idea!!! Having a relay before the Derby 🤠 Thanks for this segment. I would love to see a relay some day ❤
Great content!
That's definitely a contact sport😳!
Love this ❤ god bless from Pomona California
Great story thank you for sharing 💯
Respect!
I've called Sheridan, Wyoming my home for almost 34 years the Indian Relay races are my favorite rodeo event period the end
Awesome!! I rode my half arab/half thoroughbred bareback all through the Oregon fire trails.. nothing better than running flat out with a good horse.
This is such an incredible sport. My favorite.
Amazing! No saddle and no protective equipment
Absolutely the MOST exciting sport ever!
I watched the relay race at Walla Walla ❤
This is amazing! Would love to see one in person.
Those exchanges remind me of an Aircraft Carrier Landing (at night).
Been there, seen that a few times. Probably the most exciting thing you'll ever see.
That’s kinda way me 55y ago and it’s in my heart ♥️ forever ❤️
Amazing!
Ken is absolutely correct, a full flat out run is like flying it’s so wonderful and smooth. When you have a horse wreck, not so much fun. I used to ride my horse bareback with just a leather thong on his lower jaw. My friend Lynnelle and I would do all kinds of crazy stunts on our horses. Good times.
This is fantastic. Always knew the Native Americans were great horsemen. But this sport is truly natures test for man and horse as a team. Better than baseball or American football, to my mind.
So incredible wow ❤❤❤❤
I believe the Pendleton Roundup has always had a great Native American horse race! Nice to see how it has grown....and growing! Tge Cowboy Channel should help sponsership!!
Great story. Beautiful horses ❤
The heart and drive is amazing with the riders and horses.
Absolutely amazing how they stay on w no equipment. Make it look easy. Truly one with the horse.
Native Pride! Great luck this racing season, be well, be proud, be skilled, be blessed. Blackfeet Badazz's . See you all tomorrow at Emerald Downs.
Awsome.
You know it’s excellent journalism when you find yourself watching something intensely and you had no interest in the subject… I have zero interest in horse racing, but this story was fascinating.. excellent journalism!!
Indian speed riding is a very tough horse race you can find. To see the clear cut winner ride over the finish line arms raised is a tearing jester of accomplishment!
That’s my cousin Chaz Racine from the Blackfeet rez
bring it to big stadiums and it will sell out!!! Love this, toughness
they should go all out and invite teams from the Cree and the Yaqui, across the north american continent.
beautiful
Love to see it
This is awesome
The horse is many things but one it's a great healer.
How uncivilized… how can I sign up 😆
Get a 23 and me, then determine if you’re a native
Gee, no helmet?! The dismount!!
Great story. Hate to see them using riding crops on the horses though.
This true American History and so much fun! Why isn’t this on main stream TV every weekend?
forget that Lewis & Clark nonsense, lets see more of this instead.
Can you imagine how much fun that horse is having? Just running like it was bred to do.
❤
Dude, Native American not Indians got it
HOKAHEY...!
Is this at the North Dakota state now in Minot North Dakota
🔥💪🏽
This is my favorite sport on earth!!
WTG Talia !!! ❤ Lilililililili
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
Fun
☮️
Congratulations to the blackfeet nation...❤❤❤❤
WOW! i never knew this type of horse 🐴 race existed it is AWESOME a true challenge for any cowboy ⚡🇺🇸⚡💪🏼👑🥇🏆😎🚬
*Nikola Jokić has entered the chat*
wow chaz
Now why they don't use quarter horses?!
Because Quarter horses don’t the stamina. They’d be great until they’re not
Good question,they get sprinters because they only go a short distance. Quarter horses fit the bill. Or ones that have some THB blood but shorter so they’re easier to jump on.
Quarter horses only run faster for a quarter of a mile. The relay racers go half a mile before exchanging.
こんにちは😃😅😊❤

The Comanche and Apache were the first Horse Nations. They encountered the Spanish horses first. ❤
Some now think the original Americans first brought horses to Asia, before they went extinct in the US, only to be returned by Spaniards.
why no saddles?
Because they are badasses.
Not needed !! 👍
😂 you think they had saddles on them when they stole them in the dead of night 200 years ago. Its part of the tradition. Horse Nation riders don't need saddles.
Horses don't like saddles.
I Feel So Bad For Those Poor Baby Horses it breaks my heart to see this i would never do this to my precious sweet horse ever i love her very much ❤️
They love their horses just as much as you love your horse. If not more. The horse to a native is a brother or sister in their eyes..
why do you watch it ? just to see the bad we all pity you more
The opening ceremony before their races are impressive. Proud people! They honor their own tribal flags and songs as well as the US flag and anthem. Nobody takes a knee or any of that crap.
Okay.
My boyfriend’s buddy has family in Browning, Montana, who relays. Generations of racer winning championships over the years. I’m hoping I can watch this sport in person. I prefer it over any other horse sport. It’s definitely a lot more personable with equines than most other competitive sports.
I thought they had proven Native Americans had P.O.A.'s long before the Spanish brought horses over. ?
POAs were developed in the 1950's. It's a myth they are a native horse.
Thank you for stating this. 💯 fact.
Seeing the young kids fall off the ponies, reminded me of the Dances With Wolves when the young men attempt to steal Kevin Costner army horse😅
Kansas City Chiefs 4:05
Find it a little ironic that 60 Minutes LOVES this but hates horse racing, even though it’s much better to like wear a saddle, and the whips in horse racing are made of foam, unlike Indian relay. Indian Relay is much worse for the horses compared to horse racing
how can you say that all these horses look healthy n competitive .All things horse should be celebrated.
@@ratherbwithhorses I agree with that. just pointing out the obvious bias. I’m not super knowledgeable about Indian relay racing, and they likely are treated well
@@thde_639 people get horrified over injuries in sport, but in trurh horses can be injured just in day to day doing nothing. A horse with leg wraps on a groomed footing who is at olympic levels in fitness can break a leg still somehow.
Have they changed horse whips in 40 years? The whips I saw when I was a kid were NOT foam.
Did you not see that one horse get rammed into and flipped over? How is that healthy?
They love and care for their horses 10 times better than any of the Churchhill down horses. Much respect
That is 100% not true.
they both get excellent care really.
@@ratherbwithhorses I can believe that
Indians are in India
I love horses and i respect cultures. Being from an indigenous race myself. But in todays world of what we know. Why the hell is this allowed, the dangers to the horses and people is ridiculous for entertainment!
BRAGING RIGHTS 💪
THAS IS PICE QUEKE
Sorry, but this is just stupid - without protective gear. It seems more about how many injured people (and horses?) than the race itself.
Sad to see “tradition” used as a reason to abuse animals. And if you wanna argue it’s not, they have whips, they are ripping on these horses mouths with bits, and putting them in danger of injury.
They are bonding with their horses months in advance, if not they will buck you off and will not follow what your trying to do
I don’t understand why we help immigrants instead of Helping these beautiful people. We live on their land.
Believe me, we help them PLENTY.
Do your homework.
@@AmericanTeacher-USAAnd how do they get help? Honest question? What help do they receive?
Not 'Indian'. Native American or First Nations People.*
The tribes themselves call it Indian in this context.
First Nations People are in Canada. They chose that name. Get it right, Bud.
@@beaka63 it may refer to any tribes in the Americas. Don't correct people if you don't know what you're talking about.*
I wounder why i dont see any haters crying for the safety of the horses. Come on where yall at. I want to see yall try to cancel this.
Looks like a fun race.... BUT....why don't they loose the effin whips? Such bad riding abusing the horses. I do expect better horsemanship from people.
racing bats like these are merely foam! i’ve handled one before and it’s extremely lightweight, kind of like a pool noodle.
SPANISH DIDNT BRING FIRST HORSES, THEY WHERE ALREADY HERE... IDIOCRACY
Horses like to race and love to be the winner. These races are fairer and more realistic than other racing, where horses are spurred and whipped throughout the race to be the winner. This kind of work is racing, while the other kind that we know better is legalized horse abuse.
Native Americans are not Indian btw
Can’t just have and enjoy a nice story. Always a “Nelli” in the crowd.
This is sanctioned animal cruelty. Under no circumstances should it be considered a 'sport'. Find your "adrenaline" rush without involving cruelty to animals.
Sorry no sanction. This is a sport to them and they are independent. They are a sovereign nation.
Time to drop the word "Indian". That only applies to the peoples of India and to the citizens of that vast and ancient land. Period. To see Native Americans (and the general population) still use the word Indian in this day and time shows cultural, and historical, cluelessness and mass ignorance. At least the oppressed, and dispossessed, natives of Australia are called Aborigines - the original people. The BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) needs to be called BNAA - Bureau of Native American Affairs.
You might be surprised. It really depends on the location. I had the privilege a few years back of watching a talk given by an extremely knowledgeable California historian to a group of teachers. He spoke of the California Indians, among other topics. At the end of the session, a lady came up to him with tears in her eyes. She thanked him for acknowledging her people, the California Indians. That's what at least some of them there prefer to be called.
Mongolians were one of the first to ride horses and their ancestors must of cross the Bering Strait into the Americas.
With horses or not we always thrived.
We were the first ones at many things, but I rather not waste my energy.
Not a single Indian person in this whole video..
😂
How do you know that?😂😂 you got so much to say but don’t know one single person in this video lol
@@toryprovost1145 I didnt fine come it.. But my point still stands 😂
You wouldn’t know one of you fell over one
@@Luvtallhorses You don’t know me.. 💀
