CL-020 SPECIALTY HALTER CLASSES
A. In color classes, horses are to be judged 80% on the natural
color of the horse, and conformation to count 20%. In color
classes, horses are to be circled both ways of the ring in order
to judge the 80% color. Horses must be lined up, head to tail
in the center of the arena, to judge the 20% conformation. If

Appaloosa only)
2. Solid color stallions and geldings (open to all other
colors)
3. Multi-color mares (limited to Pinto and Appaloosa

Mares must be four (4) years and older and must have
produced a foal in the current or previous year who is
registered with the AMHA.
