Sorry if this is a dump question but as title says really...?? They look the same to me but I figure there must be some differences..??
I think spots wise knabstrupper seem to have more evenly placed dalmation like spots and appaloosa can have all kinds of spots and patterns.
This reminds me of a thread about someone who kept saying knobstrap instead of knabstrup teeheehee

Appaloosas in the UK have a good reputation of being fairly easy - like a lot of american breeds and as you say Isabeau. I know of a couple - one a pure bred who is lovely and a showing winner and another that was crossed with an arab and was a great horse, so keen to please and laid back. A purebred would be 15 hh ish? A family horse size.
There are some really nice spotty/appaloosa sports horses around though- I guess that they have been bred up and crossed with a TB or something. I have seen quite a few locally.
These are quite different from the Knapstrupper though. Aren't these quite big strong horses?
Knabs are spotty warmbloods. Apps are spotty stock horses.
