Our operation is simple and our dedication is to the Appaloosa
Horse. Our goal is to preserve this great northwest born
breed and provide the best Foundation Appaloosas' to the midwest
Appaloosa enthusiast.
Our stallion, "Ochoco Navajo Dusty", is now four years
old, is 100% Foundation, and is Ulrich bred. Excellent
confirmation, with a black base color, and a great easy going
nature. I expect he will pass these traits onto his foals. He
will be standing at stud in the spring of 2012.
The name Appaloosa joins in this country's history around the
late 1800s. It was during this time that the term Appaloosa
was first used to describe the spotted horses of the Palouse
region. The Palouse, or Palouse Country, is the area of
Washington and Idaho drained by the Palouse River. Early
white settlers referred to the spotted horse of the area as a
Palouse horse. Over time the A and Palouse were slurred
together to first form the name Apalousey and later Appaloosa.
