Most ""wild"" horses today, such as the American mustang or the Australian brumby, are actually feral horses descended from domesticated animals that escaped and adapted to life in the wild.

A few quality horses continued to be bred, mostly those captured or purchased by settlers and used as working ranch horses.

The horses were originally called ""Palouse horses"" by settlers, a reference to the Palouse River that ran through the heart of what was once Nez Perce country. Gradually, the name evolved into ""Apalouse"", and then ""Appaloosa"". Other early variations of the name included ""Appalucy"", ""Apalousey"" and ""Appaloosie""."
