You can see the the metallic sheet from the akhal teke on the first nez perce (caused be hollow hairs, a characteristic of the breed) and the teke conformation. I read that its not that they are trying to recreate the original appy type horse, they are trying to create a new breed, this is the way generally new breed begin. The thoroughbred started this way with 4 founding fathers being 'arabs' which at the time meant any eastern breed and is now considered that at least 2 were tekes.
@OriginalCopyCat1874 This cross will NEVER produce anything even remotely simular to what we had pre-1877! Using the Teke was a BAD idea dreamed up from a drunk Navajo who led the Nez Perce Tribe astray.

@GothicTrioOfEdwards It wont produce an identical copy of the original gene pool, but the Akhalteke is very similar to the original (1800s) Appaloosas, so crossbreeding tends to realign conformation and temperament to the Nez Perce Indians original standard. This is just something the Nez Perce are doing with their own horses, its not affecting the national breed.
@OriginalCopyCat1874 I don't understand why cross breeding another breed into the Appaloosa would reestablish what it once was. But whatever floats your boat.
It's not an appaloosa, it's a new breed called the Nez Perce. (appyxakhalteke) They're trying to reestablish the type of horse the Nez Perce had before it was diluted with stock horses.
Why isn't she calling the horse an Appaloosa? And why does she say it's bred to the Akhal Teke? (btw she didn't say it correctly... -__-") Keep the lines strong keep them clean.
