Intro
The Appaloosa Sport Horse was created in the USA with the intention of creating a European style sport horse with the bold appaloosa coloring.
Origins
This cross was achieved by crossing appaloosa coloring with the athletic qualities of Trekehners. The result is a beautifully colored animal, larger & with finer lines than the original appaloosa.
To register with the Appaloosa Sport Horse Association animals must possess either a recognizable appaloosa coat pattern; mottled skin & white sclera and/or striped hooves; or proof that one parent was a characteristic appaloosa.
