I came upon a fascinating info that Blackfeet raiders travelled to Comancheria to steal Comanche and Kiowa horses. As Brian DeLay, War of Thousand Deserts, p. 41 puts it:
Cheyenne elders recalled that Blackfeet often came through their camps in the early 1820s, boasting about the horses they had taken from Comanches and Kiowas. In 1826 the famous leader Yellow Wolf led one of the first Cheyenne raids into la comanchería. Soon other parties followed, until Comanches and their allies were, according to Bent, “constantly being plundered” by Cheyennes, Arapahos, Blackfeet, Gros Ventres, and others. These raids produced tales of bravery and daring told well into the reservation era
