"The Foundation-bred Appaloosa horse stems from hardy, easy-keeping, long-lived stock that was supremely suited to operating in rough and steep terrain. First and foremost the Foundation Appaloosa was--and remains today--a versatile using horse, a generalist rather than a specialist. From a bio-mechanical perspective, its conformation is balanced: its form follows its function. Such balanced conformation enables the horse to perform in a variety of athletic endeavors, remain sound and provide a smooth ride."
