Skin staining is a characteristic. This spot on the skin is not the same as the spot on the fur.
White hair can grow on pink as well as black skin. With spiky-haired Appaloosas
Often, similar to a shadow drawing, dark fur hairs appear, e.g. on the hip bones,
at the elbow or in the knee area. This, too, is unmistakable for the Appaloosa
Characteristic.
CoatPatterns

To describe the coat pattern, six different coat patterns are used as categories to which
the respective horse is then assigned.

a) Blanket
This pattern describes a horse that has a white that is clearly separated from the basic color and rich in contrast
Has "blanket" over the croup. However, this blanket does not have to be limited to the croup
(e.g. white above the hip).

three colours.
k) Gray
The coat color gray is a mixture of white and black hair with a dark background. Nearly
all horses of this color are born very dark and develop mainly over the years - at the beginning

(2) In addition, further characteristics are selected:
.
health
.
interior
.

6.1 Selection characteristics for stallions
As part of the licensing, stallions are selected for all of the above selection characteristics of the individual characteristic complexes
described linearly.

6.2 Selection criteria for mares, geldings and foals
In the breeding show evaluation, mares, geldings and foals are classified in the above-mentioned selection characteristics
of the individual feature complexes described linearly. The linear description is excluded
of the gallop.

6.3 Evaluation system and determination of results
(1) The evaluation of the selection characteristics takes place in the context of the stud book entry and foal evaluation
according to the system of linear description.
(2) The linear description of the individual selection features is carried out using a seven-level numerical
Scale (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3). Some features are so-called "deficiency features" which are based on a four-stage
Scale (0, -1, -2, -3). Detailed information on the system of linear description
can be viewed on the ApHCG homepage (www.aphcg.com).
(3) The description of the individual selection characteristics is given for all horses in the closed stand as well as in the
Walk and trot on the triangular track, for stallions also at a gallop while lunging on both hands.
For the entry of adult horses, a plaster sample is placed on a flat surface with a straight line in the crotch
and made at a trot. Lame horses are put on hold from the evaluation.
(4) After the selection criteria have been recorded using the linear description, the result is in the form of a
Information sheet with the linear recorded selection characteristics for each horse and the owner /
Given to breeder.
6.4 Evaluation of the breeding horses
(1) An evaluation of the breeding horses is carried out as a classification in performance groups on the basis of the linear described
Selection characteristics.
