The Red Roan Blanket Appaloosa is a striking coat pattern found within the Appaloosa horse breed, famed for its bold colors and unique spotting. Appaloosas trace their origins to the Nez Perce people of the Pacific Northwest, who carefully bred them for endurance, intelligence, and beauty. The “red roan blanket” pattern combines two distinct features: a roan body—where red hairs are intermingled with white—and a solid white “blanket” across the hips or back, often decorated with darker red spots
