[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1812517, member: 17524"] We used to have a Finder's Service where we found horses to fit different people. Some of those people weren't good horsemen/women. I can tell you, Appaloosa's fit those people well. They tend to be more gentle, ok, call them slow even...but they gave people confidence and I know kids that used them in Junior rodeos. They fit a lot of people. We never owned one, we had QH, but after what we experienced with our Finder's Service, we neve knocked another Appaloosa. That being said, I have to tell a story. A young man who lived with us was a genuine horseman from the time he was young. He was amazing with horses, but he had a lot of young horses he was riding. So when he had a daughter that wanted to barrel race, pole bend, etc he bought her a nice, seasoned horse. A beautiful gelding from a close friend (who lived in another state). He picked up the horse and brought him home. He was a good-looking son of a gun. Like WOW. The friend said "I'll send you the papers in the mail." The day came when he picked up the papers in the mail. Guess what? He had bought an Appaloosa!!!! That's why the 'friend' mailed him the papers. He didn't want him to know. 🤣 The Appy did make the daughter a very nice horse. He had a mane and a tail and no spots/ big hip, nice head, you sure couldn't tell he was an Appy by his looks. [/QUOTE]
