information on the appaloosa horse

The picture above is an appaloosa horse. These horses are some of the best for western shows and rodeos, but they can do much more than just that. They can jump, and are good for trail riding, they make good dressage mounts, and they are great for pleasure riding. They usually have spots on their croup, (or on their rump.) Some are seen with a rare kind of thing of spots all over, including parts of the face, shoulders, and the legs. The picture above shows an appaloosa with spots on its croup, and a little bit on its shoulders. It's a dark brown color with a dark gray mane and tail. This is the usual coloring of an appaloosa.
