Cayuse horse
Cayuse is an archaic term used in the American West, usually referring to a feral or low-quality horse or pony.
In British Columbia, the variant word ''cayoosh'' refers to a particular breed of mountain pony with shorter legs and large hindquarters, typically also of Indian husbandry.
The origin of the word is a Native American adaptation of the Spanish ''caballo'', with the -s ending a noun form in Salishan languages. A variant adaptation, ''kiuatan'', with a Sahaptian ''-tan'' ending, is the main word for "horse" or "pony" in the Chinook Jargon, although ''cayuse'' or ''cayoosh'' was also used in some areas. For this reason, some horses owned by Native American people were dubbed "cayuse," often with derogatory intent.
Two cayuses that made history were Nimpo and Stuyve who were depicted in Richmond P. Hobson, Jr.'s book ''Grass Beyond The Mountains''. Both horses had been captured by a local Native American named Thomas Squinas near Nimpo Lake in the Chilcotin District of British Columbia. Hobson described the two cayuses as the best horses that he owned, because of their unrelenting spirit and hardiness that helped them survive the extreme conditions in northern British Columbia.
