    Useful Info
    The Appaloosa
    Appaloosas typically display a leopard spotted coat, colorless sclera (the part of the eye next to the cornea) and vertically striped hooves.

    The story of this unusual horse is not fully known. There is plenty of proof that spotted horses were present in a good number of nation-states in Europe, and historians have found cave pictures dating back to 18000BC illustrating spotty horses that could well be be forefathers of the modern appaloosa. It is possible that the mottled coat was originally a type of camouflage, serving a similar purpose to the striped pattern on a zebra.

    The contemporary Appaloosa descends from horses shipped to Mexico and the u.s. by colonists. These were passed on to the Nez perce people, who cleverly bred them into the marvelous horses that we love these days.

    The horse was in the first instance called the "Palouse horse", although gradually the name changed into the modern variant, "Appaloosa".
