Well, darn, then I want a separate category for Crabbet line horses, since my Araloosa’s sire was a Crabbet line horse (Aul Magic). ;0) And then another category for “Foundation Appaloosas” as opposed to "Racebred Appaloosas (TB and/or QHX), and the (yuck) Quarterloosa, i.e., those that are 31/32nds QH with no color or breed characteristics, but claim to be Appaloosas.* Flood that list with enough subcategories and “my” breed will be No.1 in entries in no time at all (yeah, riiiight.)
*Sort of related, but not really: Many moons ago (I’ve been riding Appies since 1977), I DID run into occasionally “color” prejudice. That is much less a factor now, though it still occasionally happens. However, one competitor on a discussion board stoutly maintained there was NO prejudice against Appaloosas, and her horse scored well to prove her point. Then she posted a picture of her horse. A solid bay with no Appaloosa characteristics - no white sclera, no striped hooves, no mottling. (You can produce solid Apps even from Foundation lines, but they will show SOME breed characteristics, if only the eye or the mottling.) ROFLOL
