Since 1964 registered Appaloosas have trekked the Chief Joseph Trail Ride, the premier historic ride of the year. The ride retraces the 1,300-mile journey the Nez Perce and their Appaloosas took during their flight from the U.S. Cavalry in 1877. For 13 years, the week-long Chief Joseph Trail Ride covers a section of this path. This year's ride will cover the second leg of the ride in the picturesque Northwest from Tolo Lake to the Whitebird Battlefield Loop, July 17-23. The trail riding season concludes October 2-8 with the Sheltowee ride taking place at the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. Guests may ride portions of the 269-mile Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail. Each day 's ride will leave participants breathless as they view deep gorges, whitewater rivers, cool streams, and a variety of wildlife. Visit the ApHC's Web site at www.appaloosa.com for ride fees and deadlines. The Appaloosa Horse Club is the international breed registry for Appaloosa horses and is located in Moscow, Idaho. Since 1938, the ApHC has been dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the breed. Agile, intelligent and distinctively colorful, Appaloosas excel in a variety of events and are beloved around the world for their even temperaments and reliability.
