H&H’s guide to non-native coloured classes:
Plaited class options
Coloured horses and ponies are determined by colour and not by breed or type, which means the classes contain a variety of types.
Two societies govern coloured horse classes in the UK:
Coloured Horse and Pony Society (CHAPS)
British Piebald and Skewbald Society (BSPA)
You must be a member of CHAPS to contend Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) classes and BSPA to qualify and compete at the Royal International (RIHS).
The non-native ridden classes for coloured show animals are split into two. Ponies must exceed 153cm and include show hunter pony and show pony types. Horses exceed 153cm and are made up of hunters, hacks and riding horses as well as sport types.
