Front  - This picture must include the whole head, ears, front legs and hooves. If the horse has a face marking or lower lip snip, it’s important it show in the photograph. Rear - This picture must show the complete rear of the horse including legs and hooves.

Right  - This picture must include the complete right side of the horse, including the head, ears, legs and hooves.  Left  - This picture must include the whole left side of the horse, including the head, ears, legs and hooves. 

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.
