Characteristics (may be required)
Mottled skin - Mottled skin is different from pink (flesh-colored or non-pigmented skin), in that it will normally contain small, round, dark spots (pigmented skin) within its area. If a horse has mottled skin it’s most likely to be found on the anus, vulva, or sheath. Stripped hooves - Some Appaloosas have bold and clearly defined vertical light and dark stripes on the hooves. White sclera - A horse is said to have white sclera when there’s white area encircling the dark or pigmented iris of the eye. It should be easily seen when the horse is in a relaxed state.

Registration Name
The registration name you choose for your horse is as unique as them! The name must be approved and can not be duplicated. If you are unsure if the name you are interested in using is already chosen you can use a tool called ALL BREEDS. This is a data base complied by breeders and horse enthusiasts to keep record of lineage.
