Welcome to Appaloosa Journal’s
Horsekeeping 101!

We realize that many Appaloosa Horse Club members are first-time horse owners, so we want to offer
you useful information that will help you safely enjoy your Appaloosas every day. For those of you
who’ve owned horses for years or have a background in horse management and training, we hope this
department will give you a quick refresher course on some of the basics.
