The Appaloosa
Appaloosas ordinarily show a leopard spotted skin, pale sclera (the section of the eye close to the cornea) and striped hooves.
The background of this attractive horse is not fully understood. There is some proof that spotted horses were found in quite a few nation-states in Asia, and archeologists have found cave drawings which have been dated back to 18000BC showing mottled horses that might be the origins of the modern appaloosa. It is quite possible that the spotted skin was initially a form of camouflage, similar to the zebra's stripes.
The modern-day Appaloosa is descended from horses shipped over to The usa by early colonists. These were passed on to the Nez perce tribe, who skillfully bred them into the marvelous horses that we so admire today.
This wonderful horse was initially called the "Palouse horse", but gradually the name transformed into the present-day interpretation, "Appaloosa".
The Mustang Horse
The mustang horse is a well known horse that is seen by many people as a symbol of the historic and cowboy spirit of the American wild west.
But Mustangs are often known as 'wild' horses, the more correct term is 'feral' horses as most so-called 'wild' horses established in Mexico and the u.s. are bred from horses that were initially domestic horses carried to The usa by the colonists.
In most cases, these early horses were of Spanish or Arab breeding stock, but had amongst them all conceivable colours and many horse lovers types and breeds.
Clearly, some of these independent horses got loose or were traded by the indigenous tribes, and soon spread through the whole of america.
