American Indians did not use the stirrup. They tended to ride bareback without a saddle.
The finest cavalry in the world ever, the Sioux, completely over ran and killed the 7th US Cavalry at the Battle of Little Big Horn.
Find out about Paramount Chief, Lord Sitting Bull of the Sioux Nation.

Indians rode bare back that means with no saddle they used a rope for the reigns
