The Nez Perce are associated with the appaloosa horse. the ponies used by most of the plains tribes, are I believe from mustang types,although any horse would have found a use.

The following link describes why the Spanish & Mexican saddle was far superior to the English saddle for use in the American West and why it was the saddle of choice by William Ashley and his fur traders. There are great illustrations from early artists throughout the piece, and the frontispiece shows the Mexican Saddle, Vaquero Saddle, Sioux Pad Saddle, and the US Western Stock Saddle. Fast "grass-fed" Indian Ponies are described as well. Western Saddles before the Cowboy (page 39) Saddles of the Plains Indians (page 72) www.sil.si.edu/smithsoniancontributions/HistoryTechnology/pdf_hi/SSHT-0039.pdfbooks.google.com/books?id=lqqAAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43v=onepage&q&f=trueThe Indian Miscellany: Containing Papers on the History, Antiquities, Arts ... (1877) By William Wallace Beach A Ride With The Apaches [The following sketch has been prepared from the unpublished Narrative of Jose Mendivil, who was a captive of the Apaches, and became by adoption one of the tribe, remaining with them seven years.] The Apaches are in the habit of making, about once a year, a grand visit to the Zuni Indians, for the purpose of trade and talk; to hear and tell stories; occasionally, to get wives, or see a sweetheart secretly. This visit to the Zunis is an event in the Apache calendar — like a journey to some renowned city or great natural wonder — and for it they make much preparation. Their horses are fattened in advance until their coats are glossy and sleek, and they are trained daily, like racers for the racetrack, with the utmost care. Each Indian strives to make the greatest impression on his Zuni friends, by the quality of his horse, his fleetness and strength, the splendor of his trappings, and the magnificence of his rider, as well as by the value and beauty of the presents he carries with him. The trappings of a single horse sometimes have the value of hundreds of dollars. If they can obtain them, by theft or purchase, they have the richest Mexican saddles embossed with silver, and sometimes even set with gems, their bridles of the finest wrought leather, resplendent with silver ornaments, and all the adornments which the Mexican, in his luxurious taste, lavishes upon a favorite horse. .......
