a horses temprement is all how you treat them i have found horses tht arnt messed with until 2-3 year olds are the best to deal with all round. all my youngstock are turned away in a 50 acre field with rugs on weather accordingly checked frequently until the age of 3 when they are ready for breaking. i kno 2 people who breed appaloosas 1 of the breeders do the same as i do and hers have excellent stable manners etc and the other breeder messes with them from day 1 and all her foals are rude, nasty etc because she has imprinted on them from day 1, horses are domeniering animals hope this helps

Oh boy! You, Sir, (or Madam), are talking out of your backside! It is absolutely impossible to generalise like that.

I have had half a dozen Appys here in the last few years, most were great, not a nasty bone in their bodies, one was a total **** and tried to kill not only a mini but jumped a fence and attacked a foal. Nothing to do with him being an appaloosa, more to do with him being an unsociable, mardy arsed git.

probably a bit late now but for the record. I bought a appaloosa cross and i honestly can say he's never ever been agressive, hes never put his ears back at another horse, hes super intelegent too and learns very quickly. I think any horse can be agressive but rarely down to the breed, if you think that the horse is willing and has a big heart - i'd say go for it...

Have had our App for 9 years this year and he has never put a hoof wrong, he goes xc, show jumping and dressage or just hacks out. Very chilled and willing to do what ever you want to do, I would def get another one in the future. You are going to get agressive with any horse breed it depends on how they are handled and if they are a more dominate but i have never heard of in with Appys.
