So it appears Idaho has no state mammal, but there is a state horse: the one pictured here, so designated in 1975. What is this horse, known for its colorful spotted coat pattern?

The Appaloosa is a breed from America, which is distinctive for its colorful spotted coat pattern. Geneticists think that maybe the color pattern of the Appaloosa is linked to something called the leopard complex mutation, which gives certain animals spots.
