<p><strong>Using horses of distinction</strong></p>
<p><strong>Over 100 head of appaloosas to choose from featuring many top blood lines </strong></p>
<p><strong>Real Appaloosas for today and the future</strong></p>
<p>Sixty miles east of the geographic centre of British Columbia, just outside the city of Prince George is a jewel of the Equine World. Over one hundred head of the most outstanding Real Appaloosas anywhere graze the approximate 800 acres of spectacular rolling terrain of the <em>B.C. Appaloosa Centre</em>.</p>

<p><strong>In a world where everything is more and more complex it is refreshing to find something simple and straight forward.</strong></p>
<p>At the <em>B.C. Appaloosa Centre</em> we are endeavouring with success to simply raise the best all around Appaloosas that there are. Our selection and breeding program which is focused on the evolving to pure breed status (four plus generations of Appaloosas top & bottom) is proving very exciting and perhaps the most advanced in the country. </p>
<p>We have been rewarded with much higher than average production of coloured foals that are an absolute pleasure to train and work with.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Focus with results</strong></p>
<p>Using diligently selected breeding stock that trace to the original registered Appaloosas that were not part of the draft cross program promoted by the US Government after the Nez Perce surrender the <em>B.C. Appaloosa Centre</em> has developed the leading herd within the <em>Appaloosa Horse Club of Canada</em>, with 10 National Top Ten achievers in both 2001 and 2002. All of them are three-generation modern type Appaloosas with distinctive contrasting colour patterns that are consistently reproducing (85 % in our 2005 foal crop, including five black and white F4 fillies).</p>
<p>The <em>B.C. Appaloosa Centre</em> is proud to produce and export International award winning Appaloosas; most recently <em>Crystal Chandlier</em> is the <em>British Appaloosa National Show Supreme Champion</em>.</p>
<p>Because of the research and record keeping policies of the <em>B.C. Appaloosa Centre</em> customers can purchase their production bloodstock needs with confidence and security; verified by achievement. The herd health practices at the <em>B.C. Appaloosa Centre</em> allow us to do group quarantine for export if required and we also work with reputable export agencies assuring satisfactory worry free delivery of your purchase.</p>

<p>Our horses are raised in as natural a way as possible. The mares are grazed on approximately 300 acres of natural seeded range which gives the foals opportunity to grow unimpaired by people or fences. The foals are weaned near the end of October (first snow that stays) and are fed good quality alfalfa hay (unirrigated) and whole oats. They are turned out in the spring with an old retired gelding in bush pasture to learn coordination skills and develop muscle while they play and grow. The only handling that is required the first winter is to teach them to lead, and to have their hooves trimmed which is not a big job as we have selectively bred for a quiet and cooperative disposition. </p>
<p>We have approx. 115 head of Appaloosa horses so we have no time for anything hard to handle. We try to ride all our 2 yr olds about 20 times, starting with those for sale then turn them out until they are sold or are 3 yrs old. </p>
