Appaloosa Legacy

Every year people gather in the backcountry with their horses and their family to follow the journey Chief Joseph took in 1877. Pursued by U.S. cavalry, a band of Nez Perce fled their homeland to escape forced relocation. Today, people unite in their passion for the Appaloosa horse and their respect for the past; tracing the steps of history on horseback. This special Outdoor Idaho explores the Chief Joseph Trail Ride.

I raised appaloosa for years, and if I could choose ONE thing to do in my life, it would be to ride this trail. I just never had the opportunity. It looks even more awesome than I imagined!!! Thank you for this video.❤

I owned a Appaloosa and she was beautiful, intelligent and a joy to own and ride. My father bred Appaloosas

When I was a kid I saw an Appaloosa horse and I fell in love with it. I learned to ride western style but I have never owned a horse but if I ever could, I would love to get an Appaloosa.
I have always thought that they are the most beautiful horse God created.
