With its distinctive spotted rump "blanket" patch, the Appaloosa is among the most recognizable of horses. This celebration of the breed includes chapters on its history, close bond with humans, and uses in ranching and such competitive events as horse shows, rodeos, and endurance races. Photographs from the best photographers of Appaloosas enhance this definitive and evocative look at a distinctly American horse.
