Appaloosa Horses - Breeders
Appaloosa Horses - OriginAppaloosa Horses are often associated with Indian tribes, but man's relationship with these spotted horses dates back to a much earlier time. Their pictures are found in many caves in France and across Europe. In ancient Persia Appaloosas were sacred horses of Nisca, the mythological hero. They were called "Great War Horses". Statuettes of spotted horses were found in China. The earliest representation of the horse with light hips and spots of the Appaloosa found in Asia dates from about the seventh century A.D.Appaloosa Horses - DescriptionAppaloosa Horses are symmetrical, smooth and proportioned animals with straight lean head, pointed ears, a clean-cut throatlatch, and long sloping shoulders. The forearms are well muscled, long and tapered down to a broad knee. Cannons are short, flat, ending in smooth, wide fetlocks. The purebred Appaloosas have a short and straight back, a long underline and muscular hips. Back feet are a little narrower than the front feet.The typical characteristics of the Appaloosa horse breed are: white sclera in the eyes (resembling the human eyes), partly colored skin on or around the muzzle, and vertically striped hooves on legs that have no white markings. The lack of these characteristics is unacceptable to the true breeders. Also Appaloosa Horses are famous for consistency in disposition and many conformation traits, such as sparse mane and tail, hooves that rarely require trimming, capacity to sustain great fatigue, longevity, and superior strength.
