AraAppaloosa horse

Country Of Origin United States
History and Background This horse is almost exclusively bred by the AraAppaloosa and Foundation Breeder’s International (AAFBI), an organization that believes it alone has the original breed of Appaloosa horses. However, as its name suggests, the breed is a result of crossing the Arab horse with an Appaloosa.
The dispute about what constitutes a true Appaloosa came about because the bloodline of these horses became so muddled through the years of interbreeding. The original Appaloosa, which the Nez Perce Indians bred and reared, became quite scarce. In an effort to preserve the original Appaloosa stock, the AAFBI decided to study the breed and try to recreate the original through the infusion of the Arab blood. The result was the AraAppaloosa, a fine breed that has all the good qualities of its ancestors.
