Dedicated to the Development, Preservation, and Promotion of the Purebred Appaloosa

Welcome to the ICAA

  • Foundation was a place to start. The ICAA is building the finished product -- a breed for the future, one generation at a time. 
  • Founded in 1991, the ICAA is well established and in it for the long haul.
  • The only registry offering a program to track a horse’s training from birth.
  • The only registry building a database of breeders who are producing five-plus generation horses.
  • A “stand-alone” registry that does not require prior registration in another registry if the horse is the product of an ICAA-registered sire and dam. 
  • The only registry using the full-generational concept of eight generations plus, with no out-crossing, to produce a true, purebred Appaloosa, following the generally accepted genealogy method of generational identification. 
  • The ICAA is partnered with AGI and offers members exclusive pricing options on 6-Panel, color, and pattern testing, as well as DNA Profiling. Parentage verification is free on foals from parents who have been DNA Profiled. 

The athletic ability, along with the family-friendly nature, and sheer beauty is a sight to behold

There has never been a documented Purebred Appaloosa in history.  The International Colored Appaloosa Association (ICAA) is the first and only stand-alone Appaloosa registry created to produce eight-generation+ Purebred Appaloosa horses by the full-generational concept; a method recognized by animal scientists and geneticists.  The ICAA does not allow outcrossing to other breeds within our registry.  As a stand-alone registry, registration with another registry is not required if the offspring are out of ICAA-registered stock. 


The ICAA welcomes your lower-level horses into the registry as well as the higher levels, as their genetics are extremely important to the health of the registry through genetic diversity well into the future.  The ICAA was the first stock horse registry to require negative genetic test results for genetic diseases to qualify for registration; also for the health of the registry.


The ICAA is completely volunteer, costs for membership and registration are extremely low, and pedigrees are carefully documented for accuracy and each foal born is the actual product of the sire and dam indicated on the Registration Application. 


We believe the true Appaloosa is an honest all-around hard-working family horse that deserves recognition throughout the world. The Appaloosa is known for its athletic ability, devoted and loyal heart, durability, versatility, and gentle, willing disposition.
