Appaloosa
History
Humans
have recognized and appreciated spotted horses throughout
history. Ancient cave drawings dating as far back as 20,000
years ago in what is now France depict spotted horses,
as do later detailed images in Asian and Chinese art.
The Spanish
introduced horses to North America as they explored the
Americas. Eventually, as these horses found their way into
the lives of Indians and were traded with other tribes,
their use spread until most of the Native American populations
in the Northwest were mounted by about 1730.
The Nez
Perce and Palouse tribes of Washington, Oregon and Idaho
became especially sophisticated horsemen and their mounts,
which included many spotted individuals, were prized and
envied by other tribes. Historians believe they were the
first tribes to breed selectively for specific traits -
such as intelligence, speed and endurance - keeping the
best and trading or gelding those that were less desirable.
When
white settlers came to this Northwest region, it is believed
that they called the spotted horses they saw by the Palouse
River or owned by the Palouse tribe "Palouse horses" or "a
Palouse horse." Over time the name was shortened and
slurred to "a Palousey" and then "Appaloosey."
During
the Nez Perce War of 1877, Appaloosa horses were among
those that helped the non-treaty Nez Perce elude the U.S.
Cavalry for several months. The Nez Perce fled over 1,300
miles of rugged, punishing terrain under the guidance of
Chief Joseph and other Nez Perce leaders.On September 30th,
while the Nez Perce successfully repulsed an unexpected
attack at Snake Creek in the Bear Paw Mountains, most
of their horses were slaughtered by federal troops under
Colonel Nelson Miles. Feeling the affects of the winter
storms, with most of the Nez Perce leaders dead, and without
their much needed horses to reach the Canadian border,
Chief Joseph surrendered concluding the peace agreement
with
the now
famous speech, "From
where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever!"
Nothing was done
to preserve the Appaloosa breed until 1938, when a group
of dedicated horsemen formed the Appaloosa Horse Club,
the international breed registry, for the preservation
and improvement of the spotted horse, whose numbers were
diminishing. This process is continuing today and the Nez Perce
tribe is a leader in this effort. |
