Hi I realize I am comming in way at the end but I did want to say that the greatest friend I ever had was a 3/4 appaloosa mare named Star I bought her as a green broke 4 year old and we were together til she died at the ripe old age of 32.
She was everything you would ever dream a horse could be she was a quiet trail horse,pulled a sleigh, a lesson horse, a game horse,a babysitter for my son she would stand in the paddock and watch his every move if I needed to know where he was I just looked to see where she was watching. Later she taught him to ride! She was grandma to my colts.
Midwife to their mother! If I was sad she would stand quietly and listen and let me hug and cry in her neck! She would gently nuzzle me as if to say I am here! She really proved that appy's are versatile. Anything you asked her to do she did!
She was my friend! If you are ever lucky enough to have a relationship with a horse like her you will never forget her!!!!
: Sure no problem and nice to meet you as well.
: I don't know of any web sites but my
: recamedation would be to find any websites
: with appaloosa breeders in your area and
: contact them. Any good breeder is going to
: be more than happy to brag about their
: horses. Happy horsing around! Natalie

: Hi Natalie!
: Pleased to meet you, and thankyou so much
: for your reply. My dad used to have appy's
: and arabians and some crosses but I was too
: young to appreciate that they have wonderful
: personalities. Now that I have one at the
: ripe young age of 41, I find that he is a
: different ball game altogether compared to
: my QH. Very curious also.
: Thankyou again and if you can direct me to a
: website with much more about their
: personality, I would appreciate it greatly.

: Apps are great!! and versital is the best
: way
: to describe them. They are willing, loving
: and able partners. There are the occasional
: bad apples but for the most part even the
: stallions I've met are great loving willing
: horses. Hopefully yours is one of the greats
: a kind willing family horse that'll take you
: for a gallop when you want and then turn
: around and walk with it's head down and walk
: carefully so not to unseat even the smallest
: child. Their great horses hope you enjoy
: yours. Natalie

: Hi there,
: Just stumbled upon this site. It's great!
: The question is.....can anyone help me find
: a lengthy
: description of an appaloosa's temperment,
: frame of mind, character, etc? I have
: looked every where on the net for a month
: now and all I can find is that they are
: versatile, they are good for many uses, this
: that and the other thing, which is really
: great to know, but I want more about their
: character, their loyalty, their curiosity,
: their personality.
: I just bought the most beautiful (to me) 13
: year old gelding appy, red roan with
: blanket, he is great and my 14 year old boy
: loves him too. I think I have fallen in
: love with him too. Next time I post, I have
: a few riding questions I would like to ask
: if I may.
: Thank you for any info on sites about my
: above question.
