Incredible picture of a Native American warrior riding a cross between the Appaloosa and Akhal Teke breeds, called the Nez Perce horse. Picture from 1910.

This is an actual Nez Perce horse, not a crossbreed… the Appaloosa x Akhal Teke is a modern invention meant to recreate the original Nez Perce type which is now extinct.
