Mustang - Bay Appaloosa

Bay Appaloosa Mustang

Appaloosas are a uniquely American breed with a rich heritage. Credit for the evolution of the colorful spotted breed is given to the Nez Perce tribe of the Pacific Northwest of theUnited States. As access to horses (abandoned by the Spanish) spread across theUnited Statesin the 1500s, the Nez Perce tribe became known as excellent horsemen. In time, the availability of horses changed the tribe's way of life as they improved their herds of quality horses with unique spots. The name Appaloosa is thought to have evolved from tribes located near the "Palouse" River inIdaho. These stock type horses were prized for their color and temperament. Today they still are and Appaloosas are popular as family pleasure horses and show horses, competing most often in Western disciplines.
