For many years it was thought that the Appaloosa was a direct descendant of the Spanish horses that arrived in America with the conquistadors and subsequent settlers but recent studies have cast doubt on this theory. There’s no doubt that Spanish horses did play a role in the breed’s development but just not as important a role as first thought. Af...
Many of us never consider where different horse markings come from but while nobody knows exactly when the spotted pattern first appeared we do know that it’s Prehistoric. You’d be forgiven for thinking that the Appaloosa’s distinctive coat pattern is relatively new but it’s actually one of the oldest coat patterns in history. While ancient artifac...
The Nez Percé Indians were expert horsemen and could often ride before they could walk (there are many stories of babies being strapped to horses to keep them in the saddle while they slept) but this wasn’t always the case. Originally a fishing tribe, they first acquired horses in the early 1700s which gave them the opportunity to hunt bison and br...
We all like stories and legends and the Nez Percé were no different with the story of the Ghost Wind Stallions is just one such example, although there is some truth behind this legend. Nez Percé folklore tells of three stallions that came out of the sea to create the Appaloosa breed, I know that horses don’t come from the sea but there is always s...
Originally bred along the shores of the Palouse River (which runs through Washington and Idaho) the Appaloosa has been known by a variety of other names such as Palousey, Appalucy (my personal favorite), and Apalouse. In time they became known as ‘a Palouse Horse’ which eventually evolved into the name we know them by today. Many Appaloosa owners a...
After the Nez Percé Warof 1877 the Appaloosa breed was completely decimated (the army killed nearly 2000 of these beautiful horses) and the Indians were banned from breeding horses ever again. Luckily though the army hadn’t killed every horses and while some did survive they were dispersed across the US. With the Nez Percé having been banned from b...
While the Appaloosa may have had a very turbulent past its future is looking extremely bright and has done since the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established back in 1938. Today there are hundreds of thousands of registered Appaloosas and the ApHC is the third largest breed registry in the world. Despite the Appaloosa’s popularity, Foundation Ap...
An Appaloosa’s spots are probably its most identifiable feature but there are a variety of different coat patterns they can have.
The Appaloosa’s spotted coat pattern is caused by the presence of a gene known as the leopard complex gene (or LP gene). The gene doesn’t guarantee a horse will have spots but they will always pass it down to its offspring, the more striking a horse’s pattern is the greater the chance of their offspring having spots. As well as being responsible fo...
They say that a leopard never changes its spots but they should also say that no two patterns are ever the same and are truly unique to the horse. Unlike our fingerprints though you can actually ‘feel’ an Appaloosa’s spots. This is because the hairs within the spots are often shorter and very slightly softer.
May 5, 2016 · The spots and roaning found in Appaloosas are controlled by the dominant Lp gene. A horse with one copy of the gene (Lplp) can express any coat pattern from solid to leopard, and a horse with two copies of the gene (LpLp) often has a few-spot or snowcap pattern.

Sep 3, 2020 · So just how do Appaloosas get their spots? It’s all in the genes! The Appaloosa Project is an international team of researchers that study the genes involved in how an Appy gets its coloring (and why that blanketed stallion can throw a solid foal!), as well as related traits.
May 27, 2017 · Appaloosa patterns are simply a type of white pattern. The dark spots on a full leopard are not spots on white but holes in the white, revealing the horse’s coat colour ‘underneath’. So for instance a genetically black horse will have black ‘spots’ and a palomino will have yellowish ‘spots’.
Leopard spot – white base colour with dark spots over the entire body; Near leopard – leopard coloured body markings but with different coloured head and legs. Few spot leopard – basic colour of white with just a few spots. Snowflake – Dark base colour with white spots and freckles over body.
