The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established in 1938 with a mission of preserving, promoting and enhancing the Appaloosa breed. The ApHC has since registered more that 670,000 Appaloosas, which are known for their distinctive color, intelligence and even temperament. True to their reputation as an extremely versatile breed, Appaloosas can be found in nearly every discipline including racing, endurance riding and serving as a reliable family horse. The international breed registry is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho, the heart of the Palouse region – the Appaloosa breed’s namesake and point of origin.
