Modern Appaloosas often have a wide range of body types that reflect the different breeds that influenced their reemergence in the 20th century. The typical Appaloosa stands between 14.2 and 16 hands.
Some traditional Appaloosas had convex facial profiles and sparse manes and tails. While some evidence suggests a possible genetic link between sparse hair growth and spotting patterns, modern breeding has moved Appaloosas towards fuller manes and tails.
Modern breed standards created by the ApHC state that the ideal Appaloosa has a straight, lean head with a prominent eye and pointed ears. Horses should have well-muscled builds with deep chests, sloping shouldes, well-rounded quarters, and a short, straight back. [4]
The Appaloosa’s legs should appear straight and sturdy, with rounded hooves and a strongly supported fetlock.
