willing nature. Anyone who has been lucky enough to own or ride an Appaloosa will agree that there is no other breed that matches its quality or kind nature while still having the ability to display bravery and athleticism.
Known for the variety of coat patterns (e.g. blanket, leopard, and snowflake) which set it apart from other equines, the Appaloosa has three additional identifiable characteristics: mottled skin, white sclera to the eye, and striped hooves.
The Appaloosa’s history has been scarred with war and near extinction, yet the breed is as strong today as it was when running free on the planes of America’s Palouse country in the 1700s. With the help and support of the Appaloosa Horse Club, the Appaloosa is becoming recognised and appreciated as a multi-talented athlete worldwide.
Beautifully illustrated with over fifty colour photographs, this latest title in the bestselling Allen Guide to Horse and Pony Breeds series is the perfect gift for all who admire this enchanting and versatile breed.

Horses are essentially prey-flight animals, and their senses have evolved differently from ours. The horses perception and understanding are very different to ours which often leads to different reactions that seem strange to us. In this book the author compares the horses sensory organs with those of humans to avoid misunderstandings as lack of knowledge can lead to many problems when dealing with horses. All of the five senses are covered in this book (hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch) and each is related back to care, behaviour and riding. This book will be useful for all horse owners, horse breeders and trainers who wish to gain a better understanding of how the horses senses function, and for veterinary students and practitioners.
