Location: Kentucky | FlyingHigh1454 - 2015-03-12 2:50 PM Because his dam was a decent mannered, papered paint, a Judy's Lineage lined mare. I don't know his sire, but he didn't get it from his bottom side.
What if his sire was well mannered and papered?
I think putting a blanket statement on any bloodline or breed cannot be justified. There's always going to be one (or many) out there that proves you wrong. Lots of people don't like Impressive horses and have no reasoning not to, it's just what they've been told to "not like" all of their life.
The colt in my profile picture is an App, and he is one nice dude. Sweet as pie and smart as a whip. |

It is the same as someone saying no quarter horses You'd think if you were that against a breed you would say so in your ad, its not like it said qh only or whatever. This isnt the first time this has happened either, I've even messaged people and told them everything except the app part, and they are interested until they ask for pedigree and pictures. Im not butt hurt she doesnt want my horse, but just because its an app doesnt mean its a rat tailed jug headed pos. Who cares what is in the ad, you showed her what you had, she passed. Wanted ads help people weed through all the potentials and find their dream horse without searching all over the Internet
I am looking for a barrel prospect, lightly started ages 3-4, no sorrels and no geldings. $4000 max.
me me me , I have a 8 yr old ranched on gelding that is the prettiest color of sorrel you have ever seen. $8500

lol thankfully no! I dont mind them, but they are hard to sell. My very first horse I ever bought on my own was an app. He was solid bay, and just as quiet as could be. Paid my 4H leader $100 a month for a year. I broke him myself, it is a wonder he ever turned into anything! lol I think I rode him maybe once a week when I was breaking him. He turned into an excellent horse for me. Wish I still had him for my kid. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/pete24 |

My my my would you look at all the App in that pedigree!!!! lol
I would be curious to see a picture & pedigree of the OP's horse.
I have a friend whose family raised Appaloosa's, raced them actually. So basically everything they ride is Appy bred, most of them don't have blankets, but do have excessive white. Very nice horses, & he is a hand, they work/ride better than alot of horses in our area!!!

My 2nd horse when I was 13 was a solid bay mare app.. lol Noone believed me she was a App.. back then People thought all apps had spots lol.. kinda funny.. loved her to pieces.. Then I got a spotted app.. gelding .. a real hardy horse.. solid and stable.. just goofed on them both.. |

blanket statements don't really bother me. It is the same with bloodlines. Some love Impressive, Two Eyed Jack etc and others will run the other way. You know there are good ones. My 2 were ding bats, but I would blame the training on that some. My best little gelding ever is out of one of them. He's the one I have pictures on facebook doing barrels, poles, jumping, HUS, reining etc all at one show. My boys ride him now and sadly my husband has to admit he was an A+ ranch horse and our fall back horse until he just got too old. He is a solid bay roan like his sire so no one in the world would know he was 1/2 Appy, probably higher % Appy than most of the spotted ones. Not a bit quirky other than he pins his ears a lot and then puts them forward when you talk to him. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.705715669526153.1073741829.355260627904994&type=3 |

Location: PA | My first horse was an appaloosa. She was the best dang horse i've ever owned. She did anything and everything I wanted her to do. She wouldn't have been for everyone though. She looked like your typical App...in fact, she's was more a "true" app than many I see now adays. There was more Appy in her pedigree than QH's! LOL. I bought her when I was 15, and had her her whole life....12 years. She was my best friend and soul mate...not a day goes by that I don't miss that horse.

My very first horse was an appy as well and she would go anywhere and do anything AND at whatever speed you wanted. Sturdy little thing and we were so in tune to each other that she was a blast to ride – my once in a lifetime horse for sure (although my Impressive/Two Eyed Jack boy I think is moving in and making his mark). I bought her when I was a junior in high school at the age of 12 and she lived until the ripe old age of 35. Miss her every time I ride. |

Location: North Dakota | I think its the experience people have with a single horse that sets the stage for what they like and don't like! I will not even look at a horse if it is a paint! The only paints I have ever owned were pukes!!! The best barrel horse I EVER owned was an arabian. My Grandmother who knew nothing about horses at all purchased her for me from or mailman. They got in a conversation one day at the mailbox about me loving to watch rodeo! The mailman convinced her to purchase the arabian mare for me. She was 100% arabian all spirit and try!! I was belssed with one good horse that won for me for 12 years without one lame step and nothing but grain and hay!!! I just have QH geldings now, they are easy to please and are never dramatic! |
