DZ Weedo Appaloosa DZ Weedo Appaloosa DZDZ WeedoWeedo AppaloosaAppaloosa DZ Weedo, endearingly known as Odie by his owners Doug and Sue Schembri of Char-O-Lot Ranch in Florida, is a 1994 buckskin Appaloosa stallion. He is particularly well-known in the Western show ring as a multiple national and world champion in Western Riding and trail compe- titions. His offspring have won several world and national championships, as well as eight Bronze Medallions, 1050 performance points and 304 halter points. Son of the Hall of Fame mare Merry Weedo, DZ Weedo’s accomplishments include 1997 Appaloosa National Champion in the Trail Horse division and 1998 Appaloosa World Champion in the Western Riding division. Beyond his success as a champion show horse, DZ Weedo is highly acclaimed for his colorfully spotted coat, a distinguishing trait of the all-American Appaloosa. The breed descends from the spotted horses developed in the 1800s by the Nez Perce Indians. The only tribe known to practice selective breeding, the Nez Perce developed an agile, hardy and sure-footed horse that allowed them to thrive as hunters. When land disputes in the west ended in war, the Nez Perce eluded the U.S. Cavalry for 3 ½ months and more than 3,000 miles on the backs of their spotted horses. In addition to its loud coat patterns, the Appaloosa breed is characterized by mottled skin (dark spots on pink skin) most commonly found on the muzzle and around the eyes and striped hooves. Having also inherited the athleticism of its predecessors, the Appaloosa excels in many disciplines such as racing, jumping, dressage, reining and roping.

    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Deb and Her “Destiny”
    Deb and her “Destiny” The internet is a wonderful thing. It allowed me to find the love of my life. I was surfing the BLM site July of 2009 and there she was, an Appaloosa Mustang mare looking back at me from a picture taken of her at the Mantle Ranch in Wyoming. Her eyes said “Here I am, I am the one for you, take me home!” and that was what I was determined to do. She is from the White Mountain HMA in Sweetwater Wyoming and Steve Mantle had done some halter breaking work with her and that made me even more excited. After reading how to place an internet auction bid on the updated BLM site I sat at my computer and started to shake…..was this going to work? Is this a fantasy or is that Appaloosa really sending me a message that she is for me? Am I nuts! Well after a few minutes of thinking…I hit the key and sent in my bid. Now the pressure was on, would I win her or not….so I watch the computer screen intently and suddenly there was my bid, I was in the running to get the Appy mare of my dreams. I already own a Mustang and she is a great partner and friend. She is about as solid a trail horse as there is but a little on the small side. I knew I should be happy with just her but something about the Appy mare looking at me from my computer screen just tugged at my heart strings.

  • Identifying the Blue Roan Blue
    Identifying the Blue Roan Blue Black APPALOOSA Description: White with spots over entire body Description: White with spots over body and hips Face Markings: None Face Markings: None Leg Markings: None Leg Markings: left hind partial stocking he Appaloosa has a bold and colorful heritage, originating some 20,000 years ago. Its appearance and unique qualities earned it special recognition in the drawings of caveT dwellers, worship in ancient Asia, and status as a prized mount of Spanish explorers, Native Americans and western settlers. Today, the Appaloosa’s color, versatility, willing temperament and athletic ability make it a popular choice for a number of activities. Appaloosa Characteristics Dark Bay or Brown or Bay Dark Roan Bay Description: Roan over body and hips Description: Spots over body and hips Face Markings: Star Face Markings: None Leg Markings: Left front lightning marks, left hind partial pastern, right front Mottled or Parti-colored Skin Leg Markings: Right front pastern, right hind ankle lightning marks, right hind partial pastern This characteristic is unique to the Appaloosa breed. Therefront, mot- tled skin is a basic and decisive indicator of an Appaloosa. Mottled skin is different from commonly found pink (flesh-colored or non-pigmented) skin in that it normally contains dark areas of pigmented skin. The result is a speckled or blotchy pattern of pigmented and non-pigmented skin. Examples of this are found to the right. If a horse has mottled skin, it may be found in several places. In addition to the muzzle and eye areas, mottled skin may spread from the center of the anus or vulva to the surrounding area.

  • History of the Association
    History of the Association In 2003, the Arabian Horse Association incorporated as a 501(c)(5) organization through a merger of the Arabian Horse Registry of America (founded 1908) and the International Arabian Horse Association (founded 1950). Both the Arabian Horse Registry of America and the International Arabian Horse Association have long histories flavored by the strong individuals who had a passion for Arabian horses and the wherewithal to launch the breed's presence in North America in the 20th century to large numbers of people. You may read about any of the topics related to either organization's history below. Origin of the Arabian Horse Registry of America The Arabian Horse Registry of America, Inc. is the oldest organization in North America serving owners of purebred Arabian horses. The Registry was founded in 1908 by a group of individuals who shared a passion for the past, present and future of the purebred Arabian horse. Since its inception, the Registry has been the central governing authority in the U.S. and Mexico for the breed and closed out the year 2002 with 27,500 associate members. It should be noted that for all the breeds of light horses which exist today, it was necessary to establish a registry prior to the development of the breed. The Arabian, however, was an exception to this, for here was a breed that had been recognized for thousands of years. In other words, the Arabian horse was not the result of selective breeding, as were the Quarter Horse, Paint Horse, Appaloosa, Thoroughbred and all other light breeds, but it was a breed of horse that had been maintained and cherished in its purity for centuries.
