: : The primary marking is the black or dark dorsal stripe along the horse's back. Right off the top of my head and without looking at the answers you guys gave, which means I may have to come back and say "yes" or "no" to one I've missed...The American White Horse Association, Pintos (But NOT Paints who have to have at least one Paint parent and the other parent a paint or of an approved registry - ie. blood breed), Palominos, International colored horse association (ICHA), and I want to say there's a Buckskin registry also. : If it has "American" in the registry name, you're good to go :) There are others, I'll go through and see if any were missed later! : According to ApHC rules: "Regular registration required characteristics are Appaloosa Coat pattern, OR mottled skin and one other Appaloosa characteristic. The Appaloosa can have four identifiable characteristics : 1. Coat Pattern; 2. Mottled Skin; 3. White Sclera; and 4. Striped Hooves."
