COLOR REQUIREMENT CLARIFICATION FOR REGISTRATION
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1999, the SSHBEA Board approved the following guidelines for registration. The following guidelines were published in the SSHBEA rule book, but not in their entirety. THESE ARE THE GUIDELINES IN ADDITION TO GUIDELINES PRINTED ON THE APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION.
SSHBEA REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
COLOR REQUIREMENTS FOR SPOTTED SADDLE HORSES
The following proposal is submitted to clarify the color requirements for registration of a Spotted Saddle Horse. The gait requirements would not change.
All Spotted Saddle Horses must meet a minimum color requirement in order to be eligible for the Spotted Saddle Horse Breeders' & Exhibitors' Association. Spotted Saddle Horses that are predominately colored must have a definite "natural" spotted marking. A "natural" spotted marking is an area of solid white hair with some underlying unpigmented skin. When the horse has a predominately white hair coat, it must have a contrasting area of color with some underlying pigmented skin.
The contrasting area should be visible at the time the foal is born and at the time of registration. The size of that area and the location of that area is critical to registration. The amount of white on the horse draws the line between the regular and ID Stock Registries.
To be eligible for the Regular registry the foal must have at least one "natural" Spotted marking that is more than 2 inches in diameter. The contrasting spot need not be visible when the horse is standing. The spot must be located on the horse's body or legs within the unshaded area as illustrated below.
Reference Point 1 refers to the entire head area with the exception of the base of the ears and the ears themselves. The qualifying spot cannot fall in this area.
Reference Point 2 refers to the area above a level line around the leg, midway between the center of the knee and the floor of the chest. The qualifying spot should be above this line.
Reference Point 3 refers to the area above the point represented by a level line around the leg, midway between the point of the hock and the center point of the stifle. The qualifying spot should be above this line.
If the horse has only a high stocking (extending above reference point 2 or 3) or and extended face marking that goes beyond Reference Point 1, then it must also exhibit a spot of 2 inches or more or the tail must exhibit contrasting color & skin of 2 inches or more to be eligible for the regular SSHBEA registry.
