BREED DEFINITIONS

Please be specific when listing your horses to be registered. The judge needs to have a specific breed when judging the breed classes, as one breed of pony or warmblood may have different characteristics than another pony or warmblood. It is also recommended that you provide references and photographs when showing uncommon breeds, as the judge may not be as familiar with a less common breed.

PAINT vs. Pinto: Paint refers to the breed. They are of Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse breeding. Other pinto-colored horses should be entered in their appropriate breed class, whether it be a pony, gaited breed, etc. This also applies to appaloosa/spotted horses. They may not actually be an Appaloosa just because it has spots, as in breeds such as the Colorado Ranger, Knabstrup, Noriker-Pinzgauer. Please place these in the appropriate classes as well.

Please be specific when listing your horses to be registered for shows. In the past, there have been a number of entrants who put down "pony" or "warmblood" as the breed. The judge needs to have a specific breed when judging the breed classes, as one breed of pony has different characteristics as another pony. It is also advised to provide references and photos when showing uncommon breeds. Not only does it help educate the judge to make just pinnings, but also helps to educate fellow showers.
