Age-old jokes.

Some love them - the horse with the “chrome”.

Some hate them for whatever reason.

I believe it comes from (mostly) friendly breed rivalry. Think Chevy/Ford/Dodge.

My saddle horse is half app/half paint. Ooh, the shame! smile I don’t care. He’s a great horse.


Appaloosa's can have more of a tendency to developed impaired or absent night vision than other breeds.

I owned one that was completely night blind and a couple that had no vision issues at all.

The Appaloosa I rode the longest was damn good at spotting Elk and Deer, he'd point them out to ya if you knew how to read his head and ear movements correctly.

Owned a Dodge pickup at the same time I owned that Appy, so I guess that speaks for itself as far as this thread goes.
