I recently bought two appaloosa weanlings, and I have just fallen in love with the breed all around. I would like to share my babies, and then see everyone elses!

Mine are both very plain at the moment, but I am hoping they will change as they age. The stud colt has already developed another spot! The dark bay is my stud colt, Storm, and the light bay, is my filly, April.

Hrsegirl - Your babies are sooo cute! Your filly reminds me of my Appy, Leotie.
Crimsonsky - Koda is such a hottie. LoL Love his spots!

This is my 15 year old Appaloosa/Mustang, Babe. She has a few subtle dark spots on her hindquarters and a little bit of roaning...not much though. But I've had her since she was about 2 years old. :)


This is Babe and one of her foals. We had a Quarter Horse stallion that got to her on accident, but look what happened. LoL His name is Kodiak and this is when he was just a few hours old.


Kodiak at a year old. What a hunk!


This is Surprise. She's actually an Appaloosa/Mustang. One of the best horses I've ever had, aside from Babe.


This is Leotie, my 4 year old Appaloosa mare. This picture was taken the other day. She's only been ridden about 6 times and hadn't been messed with in about a year so I hopped on her the other day and she did awesome.


Thanks for letting me share. :)

The first two pictures are of my girl Pepper during summer, during winter she gets a lot lighter and fluffier.

The second is a friends horse aimee who I had for awhile when I didn't have a horse to ride. She is the best beginners horse to ride but quite aggressive on the ground.

Elwood, not registered, 17 yrs old, owned him 6 years.
The ad in the paper for him said grey roan appaloosa gelding.
However; after being on this forum for a while now I understand that I really don't know what color or pattern he is.
Wish Faceman or NDappy would let me know. Please and Thank you.

I like the name Elwood, too.

His pattern is the typical blanket with spots/varnish roan double pattern. Don't know about the grey, though. At his age his blanket spots should have strong evidence of grey taking over and they don't. Typically when they are both grey and varnish roan the blanket spots would be gone or close to it at his age. As a result, my guess would be he is not grey, but with Appys you never know for sure without testing - they can fool you sometimes...

The really round patches are dirt... LOL not coat color.

Wish I had pics of him as a baby... His papers show him as totally chestnut with a hand-width of white above his tail, four tall stockings and a big blaze face. By two years he was nearly white, with red knees. Now, he's almost totally white. Both of the pics are a touch dated.

Here is my Appy gelding with my Granddaughters. He was a gentle soul through and through and very pleasant to handle and ride. My Grandgirl's could ride him bareback, too. I had to let him "cross Rainbow Bridge" a few years back, because he went totally blind. We kept him safe and sound for about 3 years after his going blind, but then did injure himself with a not good prognosis so we had him euthed.

yes my new kids have papers. They look real plain, but they have mottled skin and white eyes. The woman I bought them from is a distant relative of mine, and in the process of getting their papers filled out and sent to me.

I have always wanted an appaloosa, the more spotted the better. I finally got an appaloosa but she has no spots!

I find her to be very hunky/sexy, not very feminine, but I like them stocky and built "ford tough."





She has a pretty interesting leg marking:


I think she would make a pretty smart looking western horse, but sadly for her I am a dressage rider!

I think I posted Mac before, but . . .

Here's Mac. He isn't mine, I lease him, but he's been like my horse for almost 4 years. He has the very nicest personality of about any horse I've ridden. Just about what you'd think a horse named Mac would be like.
Kind of , well, Mac-ish.

Post pics of my appies? If I must..... lol.
PJ my 32 yr old gelding, and Mugsy my weanling.
Dear Appyfreak, What a great looking pair PJ and Mugsy will make, and PJ can set a good example for the youngster, too.

I am interested in the neck rope on PJ, is it tied in a bowline knot around his neck, or how fastened? How long is it and do you ride with it on? If so about where on his neck does it sit while riding?

I've been trying something similiar and sometimes the knot will interfere (sp?) with a rein. Wondering if I need a thinner line, or set it in a different place on his neck, or something other than a knot at the throat.

Thanks,
Ann
