stunning steed ... my original digital creation with the appaloosa horse breed in mind; an artistic rendition. The Appaloosa is an American horse breed best known for its colorful spotted coat pattern. There is a wide range of body types within the breed, stemming from the influence of multiple breeds of horses throughout its history.In North America, the Nez Perce people of what today is the United States Pacific Northwest developed the original American breed. Settlers once referred to these spotted horses as the "Palouse horse", possibly after the Palouse River, which ran through the heart of Nez Perce country. Gradually, the name evolved into Appaloosa. The Nez Perce lost most of their horses after the Nez Perce War in 1877, and the breed fell into decline for several decades. The modern breed maintains bloodlines tracing to the foundation bloodstock of the registry. Today, the Appaloosa is one of the most popular breeds in the United States; it was named the official state horse of Idaho in 1975. source wikipedia. prints available. see more at www.footeprintart.com and https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/judith-foote-belleci and https://pixels.com/profiles/judith-foote-belleci
