Horse breeds fact file: Appaloosas

Spotted horses have been represented in ancient Cro-Magnon cave art and Chinese art dating back to 500BC. Spotted horses in Britain were depicted in cave paintings and feature in Celtic religious rituals as fertility and growth symbols.

Parchment from 1298 lists the horses purchased by Edward I for a campaign and among them is an expensive spotted Welsh Cob from Powys. These spotted ponies featured in old Welsh studbooks, including the famous sire, Gwynte Hero, foaled in 1916. During the 17 century, gifts of spotted horses were sent between European and Asian royal families.

Olmsted, Mildred Scott (Peace Activists)
The devastation of war on the population, particularly in famine-wracked Bavaria, led her to pursue a life of peace activism. During World War I Olmsted joined the American Friends Service Committee to provide relief to war-torn France and Germany.

Appaloosas in America can be traced to the Spanish invasion of the 1500s, bringing “raindrop” horses to Mexico and North America. The Nez Perce tribe “liberated” the Spanish of some horses, becoming renowned horseman and the first tribe to breed selectively.

The Nez Perce believed the spotted horse to be hardier, with more stamina than solid-coloured horses and began to establish herds bred for their endurance, hard feet and good nature.
