    My first true love was a copper colored blanketed foundation bred mare. She was 4 I was 12...we did Everything together from 4-H to breed shows countless hours on trails with friends. Many nights in the barn telling her all my secrets. She passed away at 24 at home peacefully. I'm 51 and can still remember how it felt to ride her and the bond we shared. Had a few since her but none like her.

    A had a stallion for 30 years that typified all I loved about the Appaloosa as a breed. He was a grandson of both Joker B., Colida and a great grandson of Prince Plaudit. A few spot leopard. A color and type producer. My heart died when he did 5 years ago. Bravo to you to work so hard to keep the real Appaloosa alive. Thank you!

    I was fortunate enough to be blessed with my appaloosa mare for twenty years. She's Mighty Fancy...A copper chestnut with a beautiful spotted blanket. She was nearly full foundation bred. Not only did I show her but covered many miles on the trails. She threw three beautiful babies two colored like her one a red leopard. At 24 years old she passed peacefully. Although that was some time ago my heart was never the same. She was my best friend. Although I've had a few wonderful horses since none compare.

    I had a Prince Plaudit filly many years ago, she was Krystina Plaudit. 16 hands tall, very leggy, and large spotted Sorrel leopard. I loved that horse!!! I also had a Joker B grandson as a stallion who was a very loud colored blue roan leopard. Polka Chips was his name. Polka and Krystina gave me some great tall foals that were the picture of a foundation type Appaloosa. One of their foals, a large spot blue roan blanket horse I called Chips Ahoy Plaudit I used as a stallion for many years. He was 16.2 hands, and very athletic. He actually grew a nice long mane and tail, unusual for an Appaloosa, but I loved it! Both his mane and tail were a perfect salt and pepper mix that matched his blue roan coat. I'd get a variety of color out of his foals, depending on the mare. All were very loud colored. One was a very great red roan leopard I called Polka Dot Plaudit. Was to me a perfect blend of the Polka Chip roan and the Plaudit sorrel leopard. She was gorgeous. I still have a great grandson of my original pair, I called him Polka Party. He's now retired at 22 years old, as I am. (I'm 61 now). We still go for a pleasure trail ride once or twice a week. He's my last horse I think. I wish there was an immortality potion I could give him and myself. Hehehe. I sorely don't want to leave this life yet, and I don't want my last best friend to leave me either.

    I dearly love and respect the manner in which you are bringing your horses up. My first horse an Appaloosa filly she was 6 weeks old I was 10 so we really grew up together she was my best friend a very dear pet and the love of my life. She never had a problem with a saddle never bucked, snorted or reared up, she did have a bad habit of opening her gate and coming to my bedroom window though and I never had to chase after her for training and later riding she would hear the house door close and she was at the gate waiting on me to get there. I loved that sweetheart with my heart and soul. Bless you for bringing back the true Appaloosa to me they are the smartest sweetest and most honest horse around, keep up the fantastic work!

    Years ago, when I was a kid, there was a man named Alfred Dorsey from a small town named Lookeba,Oklahoma near Hinton, Oklahoma who raised purebred appaloosa. They had the signature short mane and tail. He would ride in the Hinton Kiwanis Rodeo Grand Entry every year until his health wouldn't allow him to sit the saddle. I don't know what happened to his appaloosas after he died, his son may have taken over breeding them.

    thank you for presenting true appaloosas - Texas It brings back many good memories that I had with Babe!!!!. She was a strawberry roan with lots of white on her rump about 13 hands which was just right for me since I was only five feet. I could run and jump up on her back and she would just stand there like ok here she comes again. Get it over and lets go!!!!!!. We did, and nothing bothered her as long as she would get treats every once in a while. She also had a short mane which would stand up and a slight broom tail. I loved her deeply, but felt that I needed to go into nursing and found a great home for her with another young girl. I was in my early 20"s then and I am 72 now. I still dream of Babe and I running full speed.111111111

There are many many well pedigreed horses that have fallen victim to the horrors of the business. 😢

    Mine were appaloosas and had very little inclination for bucking. Several were completely trained without bucking. We had one young stallion that was ridden by some guests that did not follow directions well and mistook him for the horse we told them they could ride. They were riding him all over the pasture and he never offered to buck with them.

    Fascinating. I’ve always been attracted to Appaloosas, but knew nothing of their history. Mind boggling to me that “our government” would be so intimidated by an animal that their solution would be to round it up and wipe it out! The most egregious expression of that attitude being what they did to the buffalo! I certainly didn’t know the Appaloosa breed was threatened, but I’m happy to hear there are folks trying to bring them back. I had the privilege only once of riding one - a very large, attractive gelding. He was a wonderful ride, and a horse I’ll always remember. Now with this info, I can’t help but wonder what his background was.

    The guy in this video is one of the best trainers that I have ever seen. I love him and his very good quality horses but I am not sure that those horses are very true to type. When I was young (I am old) there were still some Appaloosa horses about. They look very similar to the horses that the United States government had the Native Americans breed for meat. These horses were small but very sturdy, had colorful coat patterns, many have the modeling on their noses, good sized stripped hooves, and the classic broom tail. The most striking feature was that the long distance horses could do the "Appaloosa Shuffle". This is the Appaloosa's secret to unbelievable stamina. He could travel all day and not get tired nor would he wear out his feet. This is were the modern Appaloosa is not like the warrior's horse. Most modern horses need shoes to travel more than 10 miles a day on a daily basis. Indians didn't have horse shoes so they bred horses that didn't need them. Horses going with out shoes, not needing tons of feed, being able to tolerate extreme weather, and possessing great endurance, is the the bases for their breeding program. I love Thoroughbreds, I love Quarter horses, and I love Tennessee Walkers and Arabians. I really doubt if any of those breeds were used to make an Appaloosa. Most likely they are derived from the Percheron, the Canadian horse, and some Russian horses. Good luck with your very good quality horses and training program.

    I had a Toby descendant. A little greyed out black App, she was born with white dappling and spots over her hips. She changed color every year. She was 10 years old, I gave her to a little girl who fell in love with her. I loved that little horse, but that little girl learned how to ride on her and they were a good match. The horse had a condition that kept her from being bred, the little girl had a condition that would rob her of the joys of walking in a few years. I made sure the little App was trained in cart work, that way riding could be either in a special saddle or a custom cart. I hope to get a little App in a few years again.

That is how I think of those horses as original. I watched the 2020 Appaloosa World Show in Fort Worth, Texas in September. There were more solid color horses than spotted ones. More solid horses placed than spotted ones. Everyone of the solid horses looked like Quarter Horses. The gene pool for spotted horses is so diluted now with way too much Quarter Horse influence. My ideal Appaloosa is the 1963 World Champion Stallion, Colida. He has a KZread video with his owner.

    Like so many others posting, I had a great true Appaloosa in the 1970s, and they were my favorite breed. I later got another in North Dakota in 1988 when an elderly man dispersed his herd, all of which went back to the foundation horses and none of which were crossed with Quarter Horses. I was disgusted when the Appaloosa Horse Club decided to make them spotted Quarter Horses, and am heartened that some people are still breeding the originals! Pretty black filly.

    I always believed my Apps fully understood targeting, whether cattle, unleashed dogs, or beach balls in the pasture. I never played polo. All I ever had to do was point my horses once and they could plan how to move most effectively. Smart, smart, smart. Also pulled Houdini tricks with stall locks as well as jumping fences from a stand still to go visit other paddocks. I had the pleasure of seeing First Secretary in the flesh. Had daddys' personality and charm. I like the idea of starting training later. The body and mind need to be in synch with the training and work to be done so they go from success to success rather than some wins/some losses. Really smart horses don't like to fail, whether themselves or a rider they love and trust. Great video and I subscribed.

    The Nez Perce is historically credited with the origin of the Appaloosa breed in the United States their breeding program was famous in the western United States. They concentrated on breeding only the best horses, they were faster than the average horse and well adjusted to the Nes Perce transient lifestyle.The Nez Perce since they first acquired runaway Spanish, mostly thought to be the Spanish spotted horse this was in the 1700s. Trough their selective breeding program they eventually, bred the Appaloosa war horses. These horses where fast and skillfully could be used to move through the small mountain passes and climated to the heat and cold of the western terrain. They were fast enough to outrun the Buffalo wich the tribe used for their meat and skin for clothing. The name may originate from “a Palouse,” which referred to the region where the horses were bred. In the summer of 1877, a group of about 800 Nez Perce (NiMíiPuu) men, women and children, and nearly 2,000 horses fled their homeland of the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon/Idaho to seek refuge from forced relocation by the U.S. Army. They fled from the Army eastward 1,170 miles over the span of four months. Ultimately, hundreds of U.S. soldiers and Nez Perce (including women and children) were killed along their flight before the Nez Perce surrendered. After the Nez Percé War, the US Army tried to destroy the Appaloosa breed through slaughter and breeding with draft horses. However, Chief White Bird had slipped across the Canadian border with women, children and some of their prized spotted horses. In Canada, he and his refugees kept the breed alive. Today Nez Percé Tribe of Northern Idaho continue their horse traditions, as well. They have a new registered breed called the Nez Percé horse, which is a cross of the Appaloosa from the Wallowa herd with the Akhal-Teke horse from Central Asia. You can easily recognize if a horse is an original Appaloosa by it's striped hooves, mottled skin, white sclera, and the distinctive coat pattern. The modern Appaloosa breed can trace its origins back to the foundation bloodstock used back in 1938.

    The shuffle, is that the same as a pacer? Years and years ago I owned an Appaloosa that was a pacer. He couldn't trot at all. Went from a walk, to the pace, then to a canter. He was out of the Joker B line, and the Bearstep line.

    I love horses and I’m also a history nut. This is the first time I’ve heard that the genetic origins of the Appaloosa are Asian. That is fascinating. It’s proof that at some time Asians came to America and brought their horses with them. We’ve always believed that the Europeans were the first to bring horses to this continent. It raises a lot of questions. When would these Asian horses have arrived? It might mean that horses were here long before we thought. And what happened to the Asian people who brought them over? There is so much to the history of this continent that we don’t know but hopefully we will discover.

    There's a really interesting color study with the original prehistoric horses having the LP gene (the gene that creates the spots) and then there's a cave in France with paintings of them as well the peche merle cave.

    I had a sorrel roan flake mare whose sire was a leopard Appy and whose dam was a quarter horse. My sorrel roan flake mare was bred after I owned her 2X, first time she had a chestnut blanketed colt with 4 white socks and a blaze. He was almost 16 hands and did great as an English Pleasure Horse and Western Trail Horse in shows and I rode him Western. The 2nd foal was a solid bay Appy mare with a black mane and tail but with the characteristics. At a year she started to roan out and went from a black mane and tail to a flaxen mane and tail and by the age of 3 she was a reverse Leopard with tiny dime shaped spots. She was good at both English and Western riding. I did learn after watching a KZread on the horses of the Asian Steppe which was cited in your vlog here when I saw a leopard horse and another horse with coloring like an Appaloosa. So the Appaloosas are from the Asian steppes very interesting. Of course I am very familiar with the Nez Perce Indians and Chief Joseph. I know of Joker B and actually leased a granddaughter of Joke B who was a solid bay before I got my first Appy. All 3 of my horses have now crossed over to the grassy plains of heaven and hope to see them again. My last year lived to be 28, the gelding unfortunately only made it to 20 and my first horse, the mother of the two lived just two weeks shy of her 27th year. I lost all 3 of them to some kind of cancer so that was a bummer.

    I've never watched your videos before. I have trained many horses in my years. I am over 77 yrs. old and I started when I was 7 yrs. old training my first colt. The part I noticed in your riding is: If you use a western saddle ride then ride western style not English style. If you are going to ride English style put on an English saddle.

    Thank you for your comments, sir. It's been my experience that going English to Western is dangerous due to the fact that the western saddle has a back cinch that English horses have not felt. Most will blow up when they feel it -- had many sellers tell me the horse can be ridden English or Western. They had no experience with a back cinch. That is the reason I start ALL horses with western tack. The back cinch. Then, later, going to an English saddle is no problem. Cheers! Ken

    And for a fact, ranchers didn’t prefer colourful horses. That’s why the American Paint was separated from the American Quarter Horse despite them being identical. They didn’t like the “Indians”, so they didn’t like horses that looked like the “Indian’s Ponies.”

    There has been some outcrossing because so many got killed off by the US and the gene pool wasn't big enough. I have 2 Appaloosas whose ancestry traces back to 1840 and the "Indian herd" and even a Mustang or two. If the misbehave, they have reason to and it's your job to fix it.

They’re crossing the Thoroughbred with the Quarter Horse to get the “racing” Quarter Horse. Similar to many Appaloosa pedigrees having Quarter Horses listed, many Quarter Horse pedigrees will have Thoroughbreds listed. Such horses may have a registry number within a registry database, but they are not pure-strain horses! Leave it to humans to ruin pure-blood breeds! It’s continual!

    There's another theory that the first spotted horses in North America may have been French imports in the 1600s...in the Codex Canadensis there's a drawing of a spotted stallion. French (Canadian) horses had a big influence on horses of the northern Plains. In the 1800s the "Northern Indian Pony" was understood to be descended from French horses, while the lighter-boned mustang of the southern Plains was of Spanish descent. The temperaments of the two types was also distinctly different, with the Spanish Mustang being hotter and more flighty while the Northern Indian Pony was more of a calm, thinking horse (which some people label "stubborn," but better for rough terrain, water crossings, etc.)
