History
The Iroquois were a woodland people, so did not live in good horse country. Naturally, they adopted horses from European colonists, but the Six Nation's warrior were usually more comfortable fighting on foot, Despite this, the advantage of horses for scouting and quick raids was so obvious that the Iroquois did use them in warfare when they were needed.
