Appaloosa by BarbBarcikKeith
9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original unavailable. / This one was close to the end of the run but still within the “learning” curve. The spotted gene in horses is as old as the equine race, but the credit for the development of a distinctive spotted breed, the Appaloosa, has to be given to the Nez Perce Indians of North America who lived in the Pacific Northwest. / The breed developed in the 18th century, and was founded on the Spanish stock brought to the Americas, which included a number of spotted strains.

Quiet and Gentle by KatsEye
This is the true nature of my horse Misty. I could not have asked for a better animal. She is an angle from God. Love her to death.

Focused on a Target by Bill Gamblin
I cropped the top of the barrel out in this photo just so I would not disturb the focus of the rider and horse with all the raw emotion they displayed here….I hope you enjoy my attempt at some rodeo type photos…. This was featured in All About Rodeos

Focus by Bill Gamblin
I came across this photo while looking at all of the ones I moved to the side from the horse show I attended and this one really captured my attention.

Little Tacker by Denzil
This is another photo of a photo – just wanted to post it so the horsey folk could see that I did actually do it once, and my sometimes smartarse comments are not completely based on theory alone! Please note the appalling leg position (how I didn’t go straight over the handlebars is a miracle!). Please also note these were tractor tyres, and quite big! / Tacker was a neglected but very well-bred Appaloosa youngster whom I bought as a 2 year old for $200. He was so under-developed I could put my arm completely over his withers and have a snug fit under my armpit. With food and love he grew to be an enormous 16.3 hh, but he was always a bit dull, probably brain damaged from lack of food at an early age. He could jump though!!! We did baby eventing, Western, dressage (not well), and just general hacking about. He lived to a ripe old age, against all the odds.

Soft Blue Eye by KatsEye
Misty has the most beautiful blue eye. She is an appy mare that is about 25 years young. I just could not resist taking this capture. Her eye tells all. She is a pocket horse. She will follow you anywhere and wants lots of loven.

Afternoon Light by Gene Praag
While driving through Current Creek to look at fall colors I stumbled upon some horses in this beautiful setting. They were so isolated the horses were happy to see people and came right over to say hi. Me and my wife spent some time feeding them some food that was left on the opposite side of the fence.

About This Group
Open to the true spotted breeds – the Appaloosa, Knabstrupper, Palouse & Pony of the Americas plus cross-bred horses/ponies/mules with spotted coat patterns.
If you are unsure your horse is a spotted breed, check the following breed websites & look under registration details/identification – if your horse fits one of the coat patterns accepted by the breed societies, you’re on the right track & in the right group! We also accept cross-breeds, as long as they display the spotted coat pattern.
Australian Appaloosa Association, Australian Palouse Pony Association, American Knabstrupper Association, Pony of the Americas Club
Sorry, no pintos/paints here, no exceptions unless it is part of a group featuring a spotted horse! There are other wonderful RB groups for horses of all colours to be treasured & admired on their own merits. NOTE: there is now a group for all your Colourful Paints & Pintos
No “off topic” journals please, except to tell us you have featured works or challenge placings of course, we all like to congratulate your successes !!!
Now, as Skyhorse owns/breeds Quarter Horses & Appaloosas, has eight horses of her own & lives over an hour away from them, she is not on the computer every day – please bear with the occassional delay in seeing your work posted. Being the horse breed junkie, Skyhorse will be the one moderating photographic/art works & she promises to try to be online at least every 2nd day to moderate.
