I thought Leopard Apps were a white with big dark spots?

I would say she is a varnish roan with a few spots.

Thanks! I'll fix that. Several people have called her a leopard (including my vet who listed it on her coggins), but I didn't really think that was right. I just wasn't sure exactly what she was considered. Thanks for the info snickers!

Your welcome.

She looks as though she was likely a blanket pattern when she was little, but that the varnish pattern has taken the body color away, leaving her the pattern that she is. Likely as age progresses, more of the coloring on the front will varnish to white.

The terms among appaloosas vary from breeder to breeder. Many breeders would say that "true leopards" are born leopard, and anything that varnishes to look leopard is a "near leopard" - still others will say there's no such thing as "near leopard" and call them leopard. Then you get the ones that will insist on sticking to the actual patterns involved, and would say "varnished blanket".
