Though I find it strange that you would spend so much time arguing with me about a breed you don't think exists outside of it's markings. It's no wonder you couldn't find any way to differentiate between a Quarter Horse and an Appaloosa because you don't think Appaloosas have any actual breed characteristics.

I have asked you repeatedly to cite these characteristics you claim all apps should have (other than coat patterns) and the photos you posted all look different - they are all conformationally different. The only thing they have in common are their spots. So I guess you are quilty of exactly what you are accusing me of.
