Breed Characteristics:
The Araloosa is generally thought of as a horse with Arabian type and movement, and Appaloosa coloration.
The face should be dished, the neck arched, the eyes large, muzzle small and sensitive, and the ears small to medium. The build is refined yet strong, with fullness to the body without bulk, and muscling appearing smooth.
Appaloosa coloration seen on the Araloosa includes white over the hips, with or without spotting (commonly referred to as a blanket or spotted blanket), white with or without spots over the entire body (leopard or few-spot leopard), and roaning (which is white hair intermixed with the base-color hair) over the hips or the entire body (often bony areas such as the nasal bones, hip and elbow areas, and lower legs will remain dark, called "varnish marks").

Physical Description:
As can be expected the AraAppaloosa is known primarily by its coat: to be one of the basic coloration patterns found on the Appaloosa. The horse stands between 14 and 15 hands high and takes on the general conformation of the Arab: refined head, stamina, and elegance. The AraAppaloosa exhibits the "leopard" or "Lp" gene and thus must have one of the color patterns found on the Appaloosa. Like both the Arabian and the Appaloosa, they are to possess considerable endurance, sure-footedness, and intelligence
