AKA The Lamb Horse
One of the most famous Palouse Country Appaloosa stallions.
Owned by Guy Lamb. He was a blue roan with black spots and was clearly part draft. Sam Fisher, the Palouse Indian Horse Breeder allegedly had several different horse herds, but as he spent time at the reservations in Oklahoma, where he arrived with just his small pack of belongings, and was at times destitute and without horses it is unknown when and where he acquired the horses that Knobby came from. The old myths about Knobby being purebred have been debunked by Sam Fisher's own history and the timeline of when he was in Idaho and Oklahoma. There is no such thing as a purebred Appaloosa, as the Nez Perce and Palouse ran mixed herds that had pintos, drafts, spotted horses, greys and anything they could trade, buy, steal or foal out.http://thefab.homestead.com/files/history/TobyKnobby/p1.pdf
