Well first of all, who is this horse and lets look at his pedigree before we blame everything you don't like on breeding we know nothing about.


His name is DKA MIGHTY GOLD BARS, he is by MIGHTY SMALL PAUL, who is by PAUL BRIGHT and out of ROSETTA TOO. His dam is DUS DEE Q, who is by DUSTY Q BARS, and out of LEODEE HOW.

So tell me what about this horse makes it distinct from a Quarter Horse without mentioning anything to do with coloring. Or would you rather I found a different example?

Zips Dark Chocolate (The Miracle Chip x Zip Around Rosie)

or how about this one?

Gay Bars Silver (Gay Bars Jess x Silver Roxie)

Those are all very modern Appaloosas.
