pg. 1           

 OBJECTIVES & REGULATIONS

     This registry, if at anytime the term "Spotted" is referred, this means any equine with color such as the  paint/pinto, appaloosa type, pintaloosa type markings and/or patterns.

 (the term "Appaloosa", refers to any equine with the characteristic Lp spotting and/or markings. The term "Pintaloosa", refers to any equine resulting from the mating of an Lp/LP parent to a paint/pinto (or visa versa) and/or Pintaloosa.)

     The purpose of this registry shall be to collect, record and preserve the pattern markings of the spotted horse. To stimulate matters such that may pertain to the color, pattern markings, history, exhibition, publicity, sales, shows or improvements of this type of spotted horse. The word "EQUINE", shall, to this registry association and all members refer to a "HORSE" and NOT a "hybrid". (ISHR is sorry, but at this time no spotted mule or donkey is accepted) Also, "HORSE" shall be referred to any equine such as the Draft breed, any Horse breed, any Pony breed and any Miniature Horse breed. The word "EQUINE" shall be used by this association as strictly pertaining too and dealing with the "HORSE" species and not "HYBRIDS".

     Any act not in good faith or intentional violation of registry rules and regulations, shall result in immediate termination and/or cancellation of membership and/or registration. No current, past, or inactive member (inactive member meaning a person who did not want to obtain membership, but only registered an equine) shall refuse a reasonable request for this association, or of an Officer or Representative Agent in locating, inspecting or inquiries concerning an ISHR equine or getting one registered.

     No person(s) shall in any way alter, change or hide the natural markings of a horse by means of dye, surgery, or other capacity for registration as an "equine of color" (meaning spotted such as a Pinto, Appaloosa, Pintaloosa, Paint, etc...). Nor shall any person represent as a registered ISHR equine any other horse for which said registration certificate was issued. No alteration to certificate shall be made EXCEPT by the ISHR Registry Office.

     Accuracy of records and/or forms furnished to registry for requirement of registration is warranted by this registry. No horse is discriminated from for lack of bloodlines, parentage or heritage proof or from being registered with any other association. ISHR will attempt to obtain true and complete information in the registration of a qualified equine, but shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors on the application.  

     Person(s) completing and returning applications must make all writing legible and complete. ISHR will not be responsible for errors on any paper issued due to questionable or unreadable writing. ISHR will not be responsible for contacting owner because of questionable writing on the application(s).  If, upon receiving a completed registration certificate and there is an error due to the legibility and/or omission of information by owner, a charge for correction will be incurred. If the error is the fault of ISHR, it will be corrected for free. ISHR office and Registration Dept.  shall determine the acceptability of any equine submitted for registration. The color, type and pattern shall be determined by the same - the decision is generally final. (other associations may determine these qualities differently) ISHR will determine all aspects of the equine through photographs and if available heritage background. PHOTO'S MUST BE CLEAR and SHARP in determining the correct color and pattern markings. (other information may also be available to ISHR to determine color and pattern type)

     NO PENDING MEMBER OR CURRENT member shall call or write to registry to give their opinion in horse color or pattern in such a way as deemed rude, loud, inconsiderate, or conduct themselves in a disorderly way.  If there is a question as to an equines color and/or pattern it may be discussed. However, the ISHR Registration Department shall have the final say as to an equines color and/or pattern for registration. (other associations generally only give a "basic" color or pattern type to any equine - while ISHR tries to give a more descriptive color and/or pattern type.   THIS RULE ON THIS WEBSITE SUPERSEDES THE RULING IN THE PAPERBACK RULE BOOK AS OF JANUARY 1, 2020.

If, at any time there is a question as to the conduct of an Officer, Representative and/or member of this association, the Grievance Committee will conduct an investigation into the matter, and as such will then send their findings/rulings and suggestions for discipline to the ISHR President and from there a determination will be made as to the handling of the situation.  An Officer of ISHR shall have consideration for this registry  and this should always come first and foremost. 

No ISHR Representative shall violate the By-Laws, Rules and/or Regulations of the ISHR Constitution and shall conduct them- selves, when in the role of an ISHR Representative , in a respectable manner.

Every Representative and Officer of ISHR shall know and realize the chief qualities of this organization and to "REPRESENT" what ISHR is and what it does and can do for the horses of color - meaning "ANY" horse of color.

An Officer of ISHR must register all of their qualified equines into this registry within their first year as an Officer. A Representative must register at least 50% of any color equines they have within 60 days of being accepted as a Representative of ISHR.

************************************************************************************************************************************

ACCEPTABLE  PATTERN TYPES

PAINT/PINTO TYPES (this includes any & all breeds & breed types that possess these patterns):  Tobiano - Overo - Framed Overo - Tovero - Sabino - Splashed White, or ANY combination of these. 

APPALOOSA TYPES  (this includes all breed & breed types of Lp patterns): Leopard - Few Spot - Snowflake - Blanket - Varnish Roan - Mottled - Frosted - Speckled - Snowcap, or ANY combination of these.

PINTALOOSA TYPES: equines with any of the above type patterns combined or in just one (1) form. 

Below are acceptable white facial markings for Paint/Pinto/Pintaloosa types. (plus the Splash White Bald face not shown - and the "Sabino" gene is generally attributed to these type of facial markings, especially if the white goes to lower lip/chin or under the chin and/or throat area.)

Below are acceptable white leg markings for Paint/Pinto/Pintaloosa: White from above the knee and/or white from hock down.  (this is generally related to the "Sabino" gene) Quarter Horses, Arabians, and many Morgans commonly carry the "Sabino" gene so they are qualified as a "spotted" equine. (the white can be anywhere up to and/or past the knee and/or hock - this includes the white going up the front and/or the back of the leg)

**NOTE: The determining factor to an equines color, marking, breed type, etc... shall be decided by the regisry's Registration/Membership Department and no member or pending member shall INSULT, ACCUSE, or INCINUATE that the department does not know their job, colors and/or patterns. A careful photo examination and, if available, the background bloodline, shall determine the equines color, pattern and breed type. If there is any discrepancy, the equines application and photo's shall once again be examined and determined and any other proof the member has to show for determination. ISHR shall have and make the final decision. (the Pinto Association & the National Pinto Association only recognize 2 (two) specific patterns only - The TOBIANO & OVERO.) ISHR tries to delve deeper into the color aspect of an equine. WHITE IS NOT A COLOR - BUT THE ABSENCE OF COLOR - so if an equine is white - a person must submit either a picture of the equine as a foal with the foal color (color and/or pattern may only be seen on the skin and horse must be wet to be seen) or find hairs of color to be verified.

**ISHR will not be responsible for any lost, stolen or mutilated funds through the postal service or cash that is sent via hand mail. Beginning January 1, 2021 if any paperwork that is sent out from ISHR and is later deemed "lost" by postal service, new paperwork will be completed by ISHR - HOWEVER, the person who is to receive the new paperwork shall be responsible in paying the postage fee for return.

**ISHR will not be responsible for any mailings that do not get delivered without notice from a member. If forms or newsletters are not received within a reasonable amount of time, it is the MEMBERS RESPONSIBILITY to inform this association of this so that the problem can be taken care of and resolved.

**MULES & DONKEYS ARE CONSIDERED "HYBRID" EQUINES - ISHR is sorry, but at this time they are not acceptable  to this registry. ISHR'S meaning of EQUINE is that of the "HORSE"
