Appaloosa Spirit

This book is a good addition to an appaloosa fans book collection. The text is very informative and the pictures a delightful. Having been an appaloosa fan for many years I thought I couldn't learn any more, so bought this book for the pictures. Reading the book anyway I was very suprised. It deals breifly with all aspects of the appaloosa horse including the history of the 'ghost wind' horses. For example did you know that after fercely carrying their masters into battle and fighting themselves the Nez Pérce appaloosas were taken home and tended to by the childern. After reading this book you realise just how remarkable the appaloosa is and how lucky we are to still have it.

Being an avid lover of spotted horses, I enjoyed reading the history and traits of my beloved Appaloosa. This book has beautiful photos and wonderful information showing how versatile an animal the Appaloosa is, and what integral part it has played in America's history. A great book for the barn or coffee table! Well worth the money!
