At the Lazy J-M Ranch I focus on building upon the versatile heritage of the Appaloosa horse - a heritage proudly carried across the wild ranges and the rough, steep terrain where they proved most adept. Their diversity as a working horse is hard to beat. While every breeder designs a breeding program to develop their own "perfect horse," the Appaloosa breed has continually proven to be capable across a wide range of abilities from haltering to racing; from pleasure trail-riding to endurance; from working a cattle ranch to everything in between.   Home For Sale!



I believe in breeding the "whole horse," the wonderful dispositions, the can-do attitudes, the functional conformation, as well as their colorful coat patterns. With the advances in genetic research undertaken by The Appaloosa Project the inheritance of Appaloosa characteristics and well known patterns will become a little less like "rolling the dice." These are truly unique animals and it would be a shame to loose any of their wonderful characteristics!

Another trait that I value is the Indian Shuffle, this smooth, easy stride was highly prized by cowboys who sat in the saddle all day. These horses were said to be sure-footed on the trail as well. While there are no guarantees, some bloodlines show a greater prevalence for passing on this wonderful ability; and with the recent advances made in genetic research we may very soon be able to positively identify these horses in a breeding program as well. A wonderful article on the Middle Gaits, including the Indian Shuffle, explains the mechanics of movement and can help identify what your horse is doing.
