I’m 72 years old and I wanted to be a cowboy so bad when I was a kid. The first time I saw this beautiful animal I was in love with it.
I had dreams of riding a horse across the prairies of the west.
I’m an old man now and I love reading books about cowboys, cattle drives and other western stuff.
This is my favorite breed of horse.🐎

I had a snowflake Appaloosa, he was the best horse I’ve ever known, his name was Poncho(my Dad called me Sysco😅)❤ I got him when I was 16 and he was 7, he died at 37. 😢
He had a blue spot on one eye (glass eye) but not the whole eye.

I've owned 3. Hobo, Vagrant, and Stella. My experience is they are highly intelligent, playful, but also highly mischievous. Apps are quite spirited when young and I don't recommend them as your first horse unless they're older and know you. They have to have a lot of interaction and exercise or they start getting cranky. While they are also friendly, they only bond with a few people at a time, Hobo only really wanted 3 people to ride him. Mine were all very fast and always asking to run, they loved it. Almost as much as they loved bath time.

Can you please do one for mustang horses as well?

Maliksen O' Hara prime driver for 4 years had neighbors who owned 4 Appaloosa horses that would take on riding hiking trails they payed $13, 000 for theirs . They started of with 2 dwarf horses. Than adopted 8 guinea fowls. As well.

How come many websites have Appaloosa in lists of " The best horse breeds for beginners"? Although I have read it is high-strung and not the best for novice riders...

[jackreineke]

Why am I seeing so many horses called Appaloosa with no spots. I'm selling my last mare this weekend, I don't know that I'll buy another. I don't like where the breed is going.

You need to watch True Appaloosa. The Dna clearly shows the old data and theories are wrong. These horses crossed the land bridge with the first native peoples 10-12 k years ago. They are native to Kazakhstan.

14 hands is barely bigger than a pony! Average appaloosas are 15 to 15 1/2 hands.

would love to watch but i can't stand the AI voice

[daggaboom]

How can the horse have come to America 500 years ago and also have been bred by a tribe in America.

[shelleyharris]
