19 de jun. de 2023 · The Appaloosa is a Native American horse breed developed by the Nez Perce people in Idaho. They are most famous for their spotted coats and are popular Western riding horses. The Nez Perce tribe obtained their first horses from the Shoshone in the first half of the 18th century.
The old-type Appaloosa was later modified by the addition of draft horse blood after the 1877 defeat of the Nez Perce, when U.S. Government policy forced the Native Americans to become farmers and provided them with draft horse mares to breed to existing stallions.
The breed is said to have descended in the Nez Percé Indian territory of North America from wild mustangs, which in turn descended from Spanish horses brought in by explorers. The name derives from the Palouse River of Idaho and Washington.
