The Appaloosa is an American horse breed best known for its colorful spotted coat pattern. In North America, the Nez Perce people of what today is the United States Pacific Northwest developed the original American breed. Settlers once referred to these spotted horses as the "Palouse horse", possibly after the Palouse River, which ran through the heart of Nez Perce country. Gradually, the name evolved into "Appaloosa".
Today, the Appaloosa is one of the most popular breeds in the United States; it was named the official state horse of Idaho in 1975. Appaloosas have been used in many movies; an Appaloosa is the mascot for the Florida State Seminoles. Appaloosa bloodlines have influenced other horse breeds, including the Pony of the Americas, the Nez Perce Horse, and several gaited horse breeds. One of the flashiest Appaloosa horses is the Leopard Appy., with dark spots on a white background coat.

When Amaretto began waaaay back in September of 2010, they released their first set of starter horses, which included the Appaloosa in four colors, black, brown, grey and tan. Like other starters, they each came with possible hidden coats and traits. The hidden coats/traits might or might not be Non-Starter. The Appaloosa coat can be passed on.
The early Appaloosa starter coat has been put "Out to Pasture" which means none will come in any starter, breeder or rancher packs sold at the store, but there are still Appaloosas out there being bred from existing lines. Plus when the version 7.0 Horse update came out on Apr.18,2022 so did new colors of the Appaloosa Golden. Beige, Red, and Blue which are NOT out to pasture!
