    Useful Info

    Horse riding is great exercise and tones up thigh and tummy muscles which are normally hard to target. Now you can get the same effect without your pony with the ijoy ride exercise machine




    The Appaloosa horse
    Appaloosas frequently display a mottled coat, pale sclera (the part of the eye next to the cornea) and striped hooves.

    The story of this distinctive horse is not totally known. There is plenty of proof that mottled horses were being bred in a good many nations in 'the old world', and archeologists have found cave paintings which are as old as to 18000BC illustrating mottled horses that might be the origins of the modern appaloosa. It is quite likely that the mottled coat was by origin a type of camouflage, similar to the stripes on a zebra.

    The modern Appaloosa descends from horses shipped to Mexico and the u.s. by early settlers. These were somehow acquired by the Nez perce tribe, who skillfully bred them into the terrific horses that we know today.

    The horse was initially called the "Palouse horse", even though gradually the name was changed into the contemporary variation, "Appaloosa".


    The mustang
    The mustang horse is an extremely renowned horse and is held by many people as a symbolic representation of the influential and adventurous excitement of the Wild west.

    Although Mustangs are regularly known as 'wild' horses, the more accurate expression is 'feral' horses as all so-called 'wild' horses in The usa are related to horses that were by origin domesticated horses carried to Mexico and the u.s. by the early colonists.

    Most of these foreign horses were of Spanish or Arab breeding stock, but had amongst them all conceivable colors and many types and breeds.

    A few of these sturdy horses were set free or were bought by indigenous peoples, and rapidly spread right through the whole of america
