Is a appaloosa a good work horse?
An Appaloosa is a breed of horse originating from the American West. It was originally bred as a color breed specifically for use in long endurance rides on cattle drives and for hunting parties on the Great Plains and the Mountains.
Appaloosas make excellent trail horses - they tend to be sturdy, smart and savvy. Some Appaloosa, particularly those that have been bred for color without consideration of temperment, can become a little flighty, but this can be mediated through training and having a moderately experienced horseman riding.
However, Appaloosas can be used in many other disciplines as well - amateur jumping (generally under 3' jumps), steeple chasing (again, low jumps - these are bunchy or stocky horses that can't make a lot of height), sprint racing, barrel racing, any cow-based work, endurance riding, showing, dressage, gymkhana, etc.

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.
