* Appaloosa patterns are varied: The Appaloosa breed is known for its unique coat patterns, and the "Leopard" pattern is just one type. Within the Leopard pattern, there are different variations in how many spots a horse might have. Some might have a few scattered spots, while others could be heavily spotted.
* Individual variation: Just like people, each horse is unique. Even within the same pattern, the number and distribution of spots can vary greatly from horse to horse.
So, there's no magic number of spots that defines a Leopard Appaloosa! It's all about the beauty of their unique markings.
