Appaloosas were first bred by the Nez Perce Indians. Near where they lived there was a river called the Palouse river. Appaloosas were first called Palouse Horses, then just Palouses. "Palouse" eventually turned into "Appaloosa".

Why is Idaho's state animal the appaloosa horse?

The Appaloosa was the first horse breed to be acquired by the Nez Perce tribe around the 1700's leading to the tribe developing into excellent horsemen and breeders. Settlers began to refer to their horses as "a Palouse horse" in reference to the Palouse River in north Central Idaho. The term evolved from that to "Palousey", "Appalousey" and finally "Appaloosa". An Appaloosa Horse Club was chartered in 1938 and has become one of the leading equine breed registries in the world. The Appaloosa was named Idaho's state horse in 1975 because of its importance to Idaho history. Many of the settlers bred their horses with the appaloosa, almost causing it to go extinct.
