*Appaloosas/Foundation Appaloosas:
Those Appaloosas that have not been excessively and purposefully outcrossed to other breeds;
Those descending with little outcrossing, from the original registered stock of the Appaloosa Horse Club, Inc,(ApHC);
The "real" Appaloosas as compared to those that are only "Appaloosa" by virtue of their registration with the ApHC;
Those that don't look like, act like, or have a pedigree of another breed;
Those that don't stand a chance in the breed halter classes, because they don't look like another breed;
"Foundation" as compared to "modern" type Appaloosas;
and Last, but not least, we mean the stereotypical Appaloosa -
those Appaloosas that the world has been brainwashed to view
as "big-headed, big-footed, rat tailed, ugly and crazy," but are far, Far, FAR, from that description.
See for yourself ;)
About any Horse...
An old man was picking up objects off the beach and tossing them out into the sea.
A young man approached him and saw that the objects were starfish.
"Why in the world are you throwing starfish into the water?"
"If starfish are still on the beach when the tide goes out and the sun rises high in the sky, they will die," replied the old one.
"That is ridculous. There are thousands of miles of beach and millions of starfish. You can't really believe that what you're doing could possibly make a difference!"
The wise old one picked up another starfish, paused thoughtfully, and remarked as he tossed it out into the waves,
"It makes a difference to this one."
