Welcome to the International Colored Appaloosa Association, the first and only stand alone Appaloosa registry created to produce eight generation Purebred Appaloosa horses by the full-generational concept; a method recognized by animal scientists and geneticists.  Once we have these eight generation Appaloosas, which is fast becoming a reality, the Purebred registry will be opened with the goal of producing Purebred Appaloosas well into the future.

The ICAA Appaloosa is identified by three unique characteristics – 

Mottled Skin
Striped Hooves
White Eye Sclera

Contrasting color coat patterns almost always accompany these three characteristics and make the Appaloosa easily recognizable.  Coat patterns can range from spotted leopards to fewspot leopards, to blankets with spots, to snowcap blankets with no spots, to just a few snowflakes on a dark coat, or even darker spots on a dark coat.  There can be a wide variety of color and patterns in between these basic coat patterns including varnish roans.  Because they carry the LP gene, foals born solid with characteristics almost always develop a coat pattern at some point, even if just a few snowflakes or marginal Appaloosa roaning, not to be confused with the common roan seen in other breeds.

The ICAA places strong emphasis on striving for these contrasting Appaloosa coat patterns. Genetic testing has made it possible to predict both base color and Appaloosa characteristics with some certainty. Although pattern genes have been identified, there is currently no test for them other than PATN1, so the various coat patterns remain somewhat of a mystery.  This is what many believe makes breeding the ICAA Appaloosa exciting, challenging, and so rewarding.  We recognize non-characteristic solids (those with deep appaloosa blood but no LP gene) provide a valuable contribution to healthy breeding stock programs but we do not believe they represent the ideal Appaloosa.

We believe the true Appaloosa is an honest all-around hard working family horse that is easy to keep and deserves recognition throughout the world.  In addition to its three unique characteristics and unmistakable coat pattern, the Appaloosa is known for its


Athletic Ability,
Devoted and Loyal Heart,
Durability and Versatility,
and Gentle, Willing Disposition


The ICAA was born of concern and a fervent love of the history of the spotted horses of the Native American tribes.  There has never been a registered or documented Purebred Appaloosa horse.  We invite you to help ICAA in building a true Purebred breed of Appaloosa horses that will earn the respect of Appaloosa enthusiasts and its rightful place in the equestrian world.  


The ICAA is completely volunteer, costs for membership and registration are extremely low, and pedigrees are carefully documented to assure that each foal born is the actual product of the sire and dam indicated on the Registration Application.  


The ICAA uses the latest in genetic research to assure that ICAA horses are free of known genetic defects that would commonly affect the Appaloosa.


The ICAA is working to eliminate pinto/paint, grey, and other undesirable traits through genetic testing or visual observation. ​
