Interesting. I knew about the horses being non-native. But the Apache part not.

Is there something that made them more likely to benefit from being a horse-culture?

Living on Steppes and Plains?

Horses are native to the americas. They evolved there and spreaded to asia but went extinct in america around the end of the ice age.

Would it be unfair to say the horses that were there are a different species than those imported by the Spanish?

Only if you’d say Native American humans are another species.
