LOL. Appaloosas are extremely smart, have a self preservation instinct that is unbelievable and most will not be told what to do. They will, however, when asked do the impossible. And if asked right, will behave like angels. They really don’t want to fight, they just refuse to be bullied.
I’ve always that if you could train and ride an Appaloosa or Arab that you could train and ride anything.
One thing I’ve noticed is that their looks are really improving. The old ewe-necked, big-headed, rat-tailed Apps seem to have fallen by the wayside.
