Welcome!
The Appaloosa Pedigree Database is a collection of bloodline information for
over 80,000 horses. It's a work in progress and there's still a lot of
information that needs to be filled in; hopefully, you'll be able to find
information on at least a couple horses. You might want to try searching for
'Princes Joy of CW' for starters; that's my horse!
New & coming soon:
Horses of Appaloosa descent are now highlighted in boldface in the pedigrees.
Yes, this actually includes several AQHA horses! Additionally, the code for
auto-generating the Appaloosa percentage (e.g. ApHC & FAHR methods) is
almost ready. Soon, I'll have a bunch of photos back online, along with searches
to quickly list offspring, or to do a hypothetical mating between two horses.
Actually, the whole site will be getting an overhaul as soon as I have a little
extra time.
Some important notes:
This site is NOT affiliated with any breed association, such as the ApHC,
ICAA, AApA, CRHA, etc. While every effort is made to
ensure that pedigrees in the database are correct, for official pedigrees,
please contact the appropriate breed association.
Some horses are listed with 'registration' numbers of the format AP0000000
or similar - these are NOT actual registration numbers, but are internal
database IDs to keep track of horses whose registration numbers are either
unknown or unavailable. If you know the REAL registration number for one of
these horses, please let me know!
This site is free to use, and will always remain that way.
Q: What is an Appaloosa?
A: The Appaloosa is a breed of horse developed in the northwest U.S. by the Nez Perce tribe. Best
known for its
uniquely spotted coat, the Appaloosa is a versatile, athletic, level-headed horse. For more information,
check out: http://www.appaloosa.com.
Searching the Database:
- Use '%' as a wildcard to match any number of characters
- Searching by name automatically appends '%' to your search, so entering
the first few letters of a horse's name is usually sufficient for narrowing the search down.
- After searching, a listing of horses will be returned. Clicking on a horse's name will then generate
a pedigree (the number of generations determined by your search selection).
- The pedigree displays a horse's registration number, foal year, color, sex, and bloodlines, with
links to a pedigree
for each of the horse's ancestors. There are links to that horse's photo
(if available) and all offspring listed in the database.
If you have any
questions/concerns or can help add some info, email Jen Knutson at jen@appj.com.
