Despite appearances, the Rangerbred is not a type of Appaloosa. It has its own unique heritage. However, many Rangerbreds are double-registered with the Appaloosa Horse Clubs of both the United States and Canada. The Rangerhorse was bred for cow savvy and performance capabilities. The Colorado Ranger Horse Association has no color preference.
Color is a fickle jade.
It is merely pigment in the skin. It cannot be ridden. This fine breed was developed by Mike Ruby, who kept meticulous records on every offspring he bred. These records include foaling dates, coat patterns and complete pedigrees. Modern files are also kept.
