Ship only in continental United StatesItem Location: Cass County, TexasThere once was a man who was very fond of a certain buckskin horse. One day war broke out between the Blackfeet and the Sioux and the horse was badly wounded. The man put yellow paint on the horse's wounds and made a smudge of sweet grass, then sang sacred songs and asked the horse to get up. Three times the horse tried to stand, but could not. Finally on the fourth try the horse was able to rise, and slowly the man led him home. In gratitude to his faithful and loving master, the buckskin horse gave the man a gift: a tipi decorated with the image of a horse.
