Leopard Spotted Horse

by HowardJ

Is this a piebald? Spotted in a nearby field this morning. Never seen a horse with these markings before.

It is one of those "dappled things" or "pied" beauties that G.M. Hopkins talks about and is thankful for. I praise you for taking a shot of this remarkable beauty and sharing it!

Just below the photo information is a link to Leopard OS ads. Made me wonder what color the horse was before you Photoshopped it! Just joking!
The Dutch word for a horse is a paard. Would this make it a leopaard??

Nice picture - its an Appaloosa, I think its a native of America and was popular with the indians a couple of hundred years ago - still a popular horse today as well
