“Medicine Dog” horse. “When they first saw a pony, some tribes called it a ‘medicine-dog’”—The Indian Sign Language by W.P. Clark

Medicine Dog is also the name for a race horse.

The average height of an Indian pony is a little over thirteen hands, weight about seven hundred pounds, clean flat limbs, small sound feet, fine nostrils, excellent eyes, and broad foreheads. Those in daily use with the Northern tribes become very thin and weak during the winter months, but quickly fatten on the early spring grasses. In winter , near the large villages, the grass is soon eaten off, even if the deep snow has not buried it beyond the reach of the pony's power of pawing, and then the animal is subsist mainly on cottonwood bark.

Horsemanship: In describing a raid on a wagon train:

The ring, winding around with machine like regularity, approached nearer and nearer with each revolution. As a warrior approached the point on the circle nearest the enemy, he dropped into the loop around his horse's neck and shot arrows from beneath the neck. If his horse was shot down, he generally landed on his feet.-Ernest Wallace and E. Adamson Hoebel, The Comanches, p. 257
