All of our Appaloosas are not just APHC registered, but are also purebreds.

A Registered Appaloosa can be bred to a Registered Thoroughbred, Arabian, Quarter Horse, or another Appaloosa, and it's foal will be a Registered Appaloosa.  So although these are registered Appaloosas, by blood they can be 50% or more another breed, thus not being purebred.  There is a big difference between Registered and purebred. 

To be a purebred, an animal must not only be 5 generations of Appaloosa to Appaloosa, but also at least 75% blood of the original breed.  Thus, our Appaloosas at Appaloosa Hillside Farm are not just Registered, but are also purebreds.  Most people assume that Registered means purebred, but as you can see, it does not. 

See our FOUNDATION APPALOOSAS page for more information on the origins of Purebred Appaloosas..
