      Good Lord, you could get SEVERAL of them here for $10,000!  If you want 
a TOP QUALITY one, shown and trained in not only halter but also, say, 
reining, you could probably pick up one with Impressive bloodlines for about 
$4,000.  And that's be the most expensive Appy I'd seen in Phoenix, short of 
a proven breeding stallion with several ROM's.
     If you are serious, netmail me your mailing address and I would be glad 
to send you some Appaloosa ads from around here.  It wouldn't cost that much 
to come pick it up or have it shipped to you.
