As Comanches rose to prominence on the Southern Great Plains, they became a people who existed on horseback. They greatly preferred riding and fighting on horseback. In war, they soon developed unique tactics in battle. At times, the Comanches also organized mounted horse raids to pursue entire herds of horses.
The North Carolinian born Texas Ranger James Buckner Barry saw the shortcomings of the U. S. Dragoons when they encountered Comanche warriors. He believed the Comanches were most likely the finest light horsemen ever known. He further shared:

'Neither the dragoons or their big and awkward chargers nor the infantry understood how to fight the Comanches. This fact the Indians soon learned and they became so active that the people began to call for someone who could cope with them. The regulars generally did not know the country and the redskins would lead them over "hill and dale" until the troopers and their mounts were exhausted.'
