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.
