Well actually they were followers of the Great Bull. Storm Bull came later with the Theyalan Missionaries (IMO) and was still not widely known when the Broken Council met.

Umm, Joerg, if they rode beasts before Waha came along, why then did he need the Contests to see who would become intelligent and get to look after the loser?

I think the humans of Prax before the coming of Chaos were probably primitive hunters with a smattering of farmers (ancestors of the Oasis folk). I don't think they interacted with the beasts except by hunting them. And Tada IIRC called for the sons of Storm Bull to help him according to ToTRM#14, not beast riders.
