The Appaloosa horse
Appaloosas ordinarily display a mottled coat, pale sclera (the part of the eye close to the cornea) and striped hooves.
The background of this unusual horse is not totally understood. There is plenty of evidence that spotted horses were being bred in quite a few nation-states in 'the old world', and there are cave paintings which are as old as to 18000BC clearly showing mottled horses that may be related to the appaloosa we know today. It is possible that the spotted pattern was by origin a form of camouflage, similar to the striped pattern on a zebra.
The contemporary Appaloosa descends from horses shipped over to The usa by early settlers. These were passed to the Nez perce people, who proficiently engineered them into the superb horses that we know at the present time.
This fine horse was first referred to as the "Palouse horse", even though over the years its name has changed into the present-day version, "Appaloosa".
The mustang horse
The mustang is a wellknown horse that is revered by many americans as a live symbol of the influential and adventurous energy of the American wild west.
Although Mustangs are ordinarily called 'wild' horses, the more correct name is 'feral' horses as most so-called 'wild' horses living in The usa are bred from horses that were in the first instance domesticated animals brought to The u.s. by the conquistadors.
Most of these early horses were of Spanish or Arab origins, but also had amongst them all combinations of colours and many breeds.
It is thought that some of these independent and brave horses escaped or were bought by local aboriginals, and swiftly spread all through the whole country
