I have had hours long arguments over the properties of fictional physics, so I'm not throwing stones.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You plant people know you're the only ones who have the slightest clue, right? The rest of us just go "flower!"
Having just checked myself following Wikipedia links, I find that there's at least one painting depicting a horse with blanket-Appaloosa markings in 1727 in Austria (even though the breed itself didn't exist at the time). There were leopard-spotted horses all over the world since forever, but I thought the Nez Perce tribe created the blanket pattern. So, I was wrong. And - you don't care. Never mind. Just wanted to set the record straight. Carry on. Movies, is it?

Until I saw a picture of the whole horse. D'oh. That thing could eat a palamino and have room for dessert.
Palomino's actually a color. A dilute! [link] In theory, one could breed a heavy draft for palomino color, but I don't think there's a huge market for it.

You know I adore you both, right? Don't you dare shut up about the meaningless horse blah blah.

Everyone whose ever had hayfever and blamed it on Goldenrod (instead of Ragweed) should know that those yellow flowers come out in late summer! There's no need to be a hortifuckingculturist to figure that one out. /plantgeek

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, yeah, but they'd gone to such lengths to cast the horses playing the main part, to get the look right... and then to just toss it away with the younger version???
Doesn't this indicate they couldn't find the right foal, then?

Didn't they spraypaint the horse for Hidalgo?

Surely it couldn't be that hard to find a chestnut foal.

Yes, the Appy's not the only spotted horse (and not all Appys are spotted): [link]
To tie it back to the movie, First Secretary, Secretariat's first foal from a test breed, was an Appy. His name cropped up a lot in the Appy Sport Horses.
