Spots on the Land
Welcome to foaling season at Blue Creek Appaloosas. Charles Potts, a breeder of Foundation Appaloosa Horses, will show you multiple examples of different colored horses and explain the genetics behind their fascinating spots. In addition to the fascinating color spectrum of borderline all black to borderline all white, Appaloosas are distinguished by several other identifying characteristics. One of these is the white sclera around the eyes, giving their faces a human-like touch. Many of the horses have striped hooves, a reflection of the spotting effect on the color pattern. Appaloosas’ dispositions make them easy to handle and be with, in contrast to hot-blooded horses of the Thoroughbred and Arabian breeds. Bring your kids to enjoy the babies up close and learn the origins of the interesting names Charles gives them, such as “Padopani,” “Cherakna,” and “Waatnuwas.”
