An appaloosa can live anywhere; although it does better in the plains. It was more of a western horse and it is very kind. You let an appaloosa find it's own personal place on your land, although if it has white, trees and a shelter are mandatory. The Natural Habitat was the forest in the plains of Iraq and Iran before they were even called that! They have been bred to white though, and you can't really trace back where they originated, but they can do well in any environment given, as long as it respects the horse's standards of the world, such as thoroughbred need a place for running. The Average horse needs approximately 1.5 acres each, but more is allowed, NO less. Some people think 1 acre is enough, but I recommend 1.5 acres because 1 acre is not very big at all. Appaloosas are like Thoroughbreds and like to run. Let it and give it a big space

A:

The Appaloosa is a man engineered horse that is found in many riding stables and barns throughout the United States.

In the wild, they are found in the southwest portion of the United States. They are an engineered version of saddle bred horses that are noted for the spotted buttocks.

Because of the genetic engineering of this species, they are also noted for having poor night vision. True Appaloosas became a separate breed in the 1800's and are theoretically descendants of horses owned by the Nez Perce Indians. These are said to be descendants of the horses that came to America with the Spaniards.
