That's White "Man" to You Posts: 5515	barrelracr131 - 2014-07-25 2:52 PM CYA Ranch - 2014-07-25 1:57 PM SpottedT - 2014-07-25 1:11 PM Kay Blandford had an App as her back up horse, and used him, for NFRs. She's trained and run a lot of Apps. Personally, I wouldn't own an App if you paid me to. Attitude, jug headed, tailless creatures. Don't forget pig eyed. Rockinas wiped all our butts a couple years ago on an App. Not only a nice looking horse but damn fast. I think you mean "whipped" That dirty little butt wiper!

Goat Giver Posts: 23166	sorrel horse ranch - 2014-07-25 8:41 AM I absolutely would not over look an Appy. I had one that was an awesome horse. Ask Rockinas about her good luck she has had with Appys. As you know, we love the one we are riding for SG. He is not spotted though. I will say this as a word of caution. I have found that a lot of appys carry the PSSM gene. Probably not so much the running as the working lines, but I'd sure get a test done BEFORE I purchased one.

He has the longest fullest tail in the barn (which has wrapped around and drug down a pole before- I threatened to chop it off and complete his Appy-ness) (patch3.jpg) Attachments ---------------- patch3.jpg (20KB - 209 downloads)

If I understood her posts correctly, they tried frozen semen. It is true about the PSSM. Mostly through the Dreamfinder lines and there are a lot of them. Not sure on any others. This is just what I have picked up on the PSSM forum on facebook.

The Vaccinator Posts: 3810 Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo.	http://www.appaloosa.com/ Check out the photo on the web site.... the cover photo for the most recent Appaloosa Journal. A black / white App put me through college on a rodeo scholarship.... leading my women's team to two NIRA regional team championships. Then the third (and last year) I college rodeoed at a college that had NO rodeo team, he and I ended up third in the women's team standings for the year all by ourselves. I would never pass up a good horse -- and some chrome just adds to the fun in my opinion. The folks that show Apps are some of the most wonderful people you could ever meet. Very nice people. I've showed AQHA and App.... and keep going back to the App shows because of the wonderful people and my lovely App mare.

No Tune in a Bucket Posts: 2935 Location: Texas	What a pretty app one the website. I grew up riding a crazy little app that could kill a pole pattern. He was the nervous type and I was 14 and probably added to the craziness with the repeated pattern work. In all fairness, we did not know any better at the time. And he was pretty. The Reminic in Spots horse mentioned, all of the babies appear to be solids. Does anyone know if he has thrown any spotted babies?

Heeler Hater Posts: 3014 Location: Texas	I just bought an Oklahoma accredited bred Appy mare. Own daughter of Dash for Perks out of a nice producing mare. My mare earned money on the track herself. Trying to find previous foals to see if she herself has produced anything.

Veteran Posts: 253 Location: SoCal	We have some really nice Appaloosas that run in our area, a lot of solid, but also a lot of color. The people who own them breed for the speed, but a lot of their horses are 1D/2D and quick pole horses too! My family had Apps many years ago, so it would be neat to get one. I've researched the bloodlines a little for Quarter Horses as far as unusually marked AQHA foals go, and there are documented AQHA horses that have the genes for Appaloosa markings and express the characteristics, whose bloodlines snuck in as "roans" from what I've been able to find.

The Color Specialist Posts: 7530 Location: Washington. (The DRY side.)	I've had 3 Appies and would have another in a heartbeat. But ONLY if it was COLORED! I have NO desire to have a solid one. If it is going to be solid and live here, it will be AQHA.
