Gravel paddocks are fine, especially for horses that are easy keepers or have metabolic issues and cannot have full access to grass. Sand turnout is better but not always doable. You must provide the horse with 24/7 hay and let them get out of the paddock for better exercise at least once a day., if you can provide a stall or shelter with soft bedding that will go a long way towards helping the horse find a comfortable place to lay down and even roll.
A good compromise is very fine gravel mixed with sand as this provides wear on the hooves, yet is more comfortable. Many people find it 'cruel' to keep a horse in anything but a pasture or stall, but this simply is not true, you must do what is best for the horse. If this means a gravel or sand paddock then it should be done, provided the horse has a way to exercise in a larger area for at least an hour a day.

The same amount as any other horse of their size, really it depends on the size that they are and their needs, like if you were using them as a working horse then probably a 20l bucket twice a day would be suffice.

A horse's diet is based more on his activity level, age, and metabolism then his breed. I have an Appaloosa used for trail riding. He eats hay twice a day, and gets a small amount of grain once a day (mainly just to mix in his garlic supplement). If an Appaloosa was used for racing, however, his grain ration would be much higher.

Thoroughbred. They are most commonly used for racing.

Of course, this can vary from horse to horse as an older retired thoroughbred may not be as speedy as a young, fit appaloosa.

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.
