The distinctive look of the original Appaloosa was the product of breeding by the Native Americans in the North West. The breed itself was created there. The genetics for the various spotting patterns may have been part of the gene pool of the original Spanish horses that were released/escaped to become a feral population since the Leopard complex gene exists in some European breeds of horses.
