Where did Appaloosa horse come from?
The American Appaloosa was developed by the Nez Perce tribe of the Pacific Northwest. They selectively bred and culled their herds of horses until they got a horse that was enduring, tough, and colorful, they were built similarly to the Thoroughbred. After the tribe surrendered the US army destroyed much of the tribes herd and crossed many others with draft horses. Some ranchers liked the spotted horses and tried to save them. They bred some to Arabians, Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses in an effort to bulk up the numbers, but in doing so change the breed completely.

Why did John Wayne ride and Appaloosa in El Dorado?
That horse was the director's idea. He was very flashy but was an airhead and John Wayne hated him. I think this was the movie where JW backed that Appaloosa over a wooden bridge. I don't know if this is correct but I think they had to replace that horse 1/2 way through the filming because it was such an idiot. add: I'm thinking the director was Howard Hawkes and I had heard that he actually owned that particular horse. Don't know if that is true or not.
Where did the Appaloosa that John Wayne come from?
That particular horse belonged to the director Howard Hawkes. Although the horse, named Chocise, was flashy and appearently well-trained, Wayne didn't like the horse at all. I believe they had to replace the horse mid-shoot (El Dorado) and had much trouble finding a look-a-like to fill in.
Historical accuracy of movie appaloosa?
An appaloosa is a breed of hors with spots, not a movie. If so, you should be much more specific with your question.
According to the American Film Institutes Catalogue of Motiton pictures, it seems that "Holy Smoke" may not just be the fictional name of the equine character, but the name of the actual horse itself. The trainer is listed as Jimmy Williams. The film was released in 1966.
If this is the case, the horse in question *may* be an Appaloosa born in 1955 named "Holy Smoke" (Biltofts Chico x Christy). The full pedigree in question can be found on the all breed pedigree online site by searching "Holy Smoke Appaloosa". However, I can find no photo of this particular horse with which to confirm.
