JUDGING COLOUR AND MARKINGS CLASSES<br />

These Classes are to be judged only on the colour <strong>and</strong> markings of the horse or pony,<br />

conformation does not play a part in the judging procedure <strong>and</strong> entrants should not be trotted up<br />

to look at conformation or movement, this does not matter in this class.<br />

A Colour <strong>and</strong> Markings Class should be judged 90% colour <strong>and</strong> markings, 10% judge’s choice<br />

(which may differ from judge to judge, so if you have won under one judge you may not under<br />

another).<br />

Colour patterns should be valued equally, Tobiano or Overo, blue eyes should not be penalised (a<br />

Special Award for the Best Blue Eyes may be given in some Colour <strong>and</strong> Markings Classes).<br />

Entrants should be viewed from both sides, back <strong>and</strong> front, <strong>and</strong> should be asked to change the<br />

rein so the judge may view them from both sides. The line up should have plenty of room left<br />

between exhibits so the judge may walk between exhibits freely.<br />

What a judge should be looking for:<br />

1. A good depth of bold colour, clearly defined blocks of colour (no base colour should be<br />

preferred, i.e. black preferred to bay or chestnut etc).<br />

2. A good even distribution of colour on both sides of the animal.<br />

3. Mirror markings, i.e. the same coat pattern both sides of the animal is desirable.<br />
