Appaloosa, Breed or Colour? Confused.

Thank you SC .... I don`t know about the hooves, I don`t think they are stripped from the couple of photos I have seen, they appear to be just white. You have explained that very well, and I think I`m beginning to understand it. The post with the dog also really helped (Great Dane, but being named a collie due to the markings), I think that was paintmeproud who put that post up but yes, I feel a bit more like I understand it all now ... It hasn`t taken that many pages has it :D ... he he he, thanks again peoples, now does anyone know if penguins get cold feet? :D :D :D

Re: the striped hooves, that horse appears to have white socks hence the shell coloured feet. My part bred appy has one white sock and that foot is shell coloured. The other 3 are striped.
