Dave Reynolds & I are putting together a list of mares between our two herds. Some of his mares will cross beautifully with
Storm Chaser. He kicks himself for selling that colt! I'm glad he sold him to me. The program won't lose the blood & shared
breedings will continue. I also have mares that I would love to breed to Gun Runner & Crazy Legs.
I'm waiting for the day when we produce more homozygous LP mares. Wyoming Lightning has all of the outward signs of being
a homozygous LP without PATN1. H/Z mares will produce LP traits in all of their foals so we can comfortably breed to non LP
stallions. We have several, non LP stallions that would cross beautifully with them, to bring in other bloodlines.
At the present time, there are only three homozygous LP registered stallions, with large white expression. They are owned by
Dave or I.
What a thrill that this project is a success & continues to draw interest!
Can't wait to see what 2010 brings!
Stay tuned!

| Several people have asked me to explain the Leopard or LP Complex is the series of genes responsible for all of the appy patterns. LP is not responsible for the white blankets, only the spots, LP roan, snowflake & other LP traits. Our horses are not "Appaloosas" but like them, they do carry the LP genes. The Conquistador's brought LP horses to North America so Spanish Mustangs are the horses that the Nez Perce originally rode. Spanish Mustangs are where those spotted beauties got their spots. Spanish LP horses are the LP complex or "appy" Spanish Mustangs Appaloosa is the name of the horses registered with the different Appaloosa Horse registries. Our horses shouldn't be called "Appaloosa" because they aren't registered as such & don't have the same breeding at all. They only have the LP complex genes in common with Appaloosas. |
| Malaria ran rife, But more died of broken hearts far from the land that gave them life. And the man once called Joseph at death was heard to say, “We have given up our horses. They have gone away.” But sometimes without warning from a dull domestic herd, A spotted horse of spirit wondrous will emerge. Strong it is, and fearless, and nimble on a hill. Listening for thunder, the Appaloosa’s living still. |
| Twelve hundred miles retreating, three times over the Divide, The horse their only safety, their only ally. Three thousand Appaloosas perished with the tribe, The people and the horses dying side by side. Thunder Rolling in the Mountains said, “My heart is sick and sad. Our children now are freezing. The old chiefs are dead. The hunger takes our spirit. Our wounds are deep and sore. From where the sun now stands, I shall fight no more.” (Chorus) |
| Dave Reynolds 27003 SD Hwy 89 Hot Springs, SD 57747 605-745-4883 |
| The chief spoke to the People in his anger and his pain: “I am no more Chief Joseph. Rolling Thunder is my name. They condemn us to a wasteland of barren soil and stone. We shall fight them if we must, but we will find another home.” They fled into the Bitterroot, an army at their heels. They fought at White Bird Canyon. They fought at Misery Hill, Till the colonel saw his strategy and sent the order down, To kill the Appaloosa wherever it be found. (Chorus) |
| In the winter came the crowned ones near frozen in the cold, Bringing firearms and spyglasses and a book that saves the soul. The people gave them welcome, nursed them till their strength returned, And studied the talking paper, its mysteries to learn. In the shadow of the mission sprang up farms and squatter towns. The plain was lined with fences. The plow blade split the ground. In the shallows of the Clearwater, gold glittered in the pan, And the word would come from Washington: remove the Indian. (Chorus) |

| By Fred Small From the land of shooting waters to the peaks of the Coeur d’Alene, Thimbleberries in the forest, elk grazing on the plain, The People of the Coyote made their camp along the streams Of the green Wallowa Valley when fences had no name. And they bred a strain of horses, the treasure of the tribe, Who could toe-dance on a ridge or gallop up a mountainside, Who could haul the hunter’s burden, turn a buffalo stampede -- The horse that wore the spotted coat was born with matchless speed. CHORUS: Thunder Rolling in the Mountains, Lead the people across the Great Divide. There’s blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho, But the heart of the Appaloosa never died. |
For the last thirty years, I have searched for any information I
could find about LP complex or “appy” . Several years ago, I
stumbled upon the Appaloosa Project group. I can’t tell you
how thrilled I was to find a place where I could get serious
questions answered to LP genetics..I have studied every paper
that the project has ever published. When I tried her
suggestions, they worked so I’m sure her teachings are the
truth. I have asked Sheila Archer if she would consider being
the Spanish LP advisor. She graciously said she would be
happy to help us.
In the past, I thought I was the only person who was serious
about restoring & preserving LP within the foundation SM
horse. Oh, there were a few people who said they liked the
spots but they had no clue how to get them or cared to actually
learn anything. They just wanted a sure thing.…. But then, it’s
always easier to grab a horse already born with LP than to work
at trying to breed one...and then take the credit for it!
Since this project began, I have met several spot lovers who
are just as keen on learning about LP, as I am. It feels good to
know that the population of foundation Spanish LP horses will
continue to grow. It feels even better knowing that I now have
sincere people with character & integrity in my corner, who feel
as strongly about preserving Spanish LP as I do.

I met Dave Reynolds several years ago. It was soon clear
to me that he loved LP spotted horses as much as I did. He
was focused on producing large blankets, as well as
horses with as close to the leopard pattern as he could
get. In the last few years, we have talked about LP
genetics often & I have learned a great deal about original
foundation SM lines from him.
In 2005, we tried a few experimental LP breedings with
some of his horses & they were quite successful. Ghost
Horse was the result of one of those experiments.
Success is always fun!
We have now partnered up with both herds to see what
the next few years will bring. Breeding plans will have to
be creative, since there are 900 miles between Dave's
horses & mine.
Wonder how many fence posts that is?

| 4-29-2007: It's well documented that the LP Complex, or "appy" genes, arrived with the conquistador's horses. They became the horses that the original Nez Perce horses. Over the years, we have almost lost Lp horses within foundation Spanish Mustangs. We haven't seen a nose to toes leopard since the fifties. I'm still not sure if a photo of that horse, Mexican Joe, even exists. He had sons & daughters who produced lots of LP horses but the ones that might have made a real difference in a LP breeding program, were either bred to horses with no traits, or gelded. In my travels through pedigrees & the few pictures available, I have come to believe that the Mexican Joe line & some horses in the Chief Pushmataha line, carry the PATN gene that breeders need, to bring back that large blanket or leopard. |
I am only concerned with certain pedigrees. I know Chief Pushmataha was registered with
an Appaloosa horse registry & that he was also bred to mares of other breeds. Outside
breeding was accepted with that Appaloosa Horse registry...not accepted with true Spanish
Mustang preservation programs. It would be simple to find homozygous horses of another
breed, to get the genes that I need for this project. That's the easy way...& it would totally
defeat my purpose.
My goal is to PRESERVE the Spanish Mustang, as well as, bring out the leopard & large
blankets, hiding within the registered Spanish Mustang....I believe that this project is
important enough, to at least, try to reach that goal.
We are building a band of carefully selected LP mares, to insure that this project is a
success.. I hope to see…in my lifetime…a stable gene pool of nose to toes leopards & large
spotted blanket horses…as well as, fewspots & snowcaps to ensure that we continue to see
those beautiful spotted Spanish Mustangs that were running on the prairies of the past
Be sure to check back with us.....You won't want to miss out on the fun !

Kyle Glentzer from California
was kind enough to send me a few
photos of Dave's Horses. These
were taken on several trips to
South Dakota while viewing
Dave & Sharron's horses at
Caballos de Destino. Thanks to
you Kyle!
The mare, Wyoming Lightning,
shows all of the signs of being
homozygous LP. She doesn't have
large white expression but has two
copies of LP.
