Completed registration application accompanied by all applicable fees (All horses registered with another association will be registered with PPHA using the same name unless that name is already used with PPHA in which case an identifiable suffix)
Tobianos can be any color and white, they frequently have four white legs and dark heads with or without normal markings (star, strip or blaze). Patches are normally quite large with the white crossing over the top line between the whithers and croup. Typical markings are patches in the flanks, on the chest and the neck. Amount of white may range from minimal to predominant.
Typically the Sabino pinto has extensive face and leg markings in a speckled or feathering pattern. Speckling appears on the undersides of the belly, neck and head. Sabino can be differentiated from Overo pintos by the roaning, feathering or speckling. Overos have jagged crisp patches - usually on the barrel, neck and hips and have darker edging around each patch.
Sabino markings can be expressed as minimal - "sabino characteristics" - (tall irregular edged hind socks, bald face, or large irregular blaze extending into the bottom lip.) all the way to maximum or "full" Sabino pinto. Then there is the maximum white sabino - contrary to some descriptions it is not a horse with 75% or more white it is an ALL WHITE horse that may be born with faded coloring in/near the ears, the mane and tail - this color usually disappears within the first year.
The sabiano is a pinto that obviously displays markings from both the tobiano and sabino genes and has the ability to pass either or both genes to any of it's offspring. Sabianos tend to be quite loudly marked although breeding a minimal characteristic sabino with a minimal tobiano may result in a limited white offspring, it could also create a very splashy colored foal that some would consider hard to explain the origin of color.
In order for us to encourage growth and promote the Pinto Paso Horse our fees will be the same for non-members
as it is for members. We would like to encourage all owners and breeders to join as members, ensuring the growth and promotion of the breed and the association.
DNA Submission
-Pull 35-50 tail hair (making sure hair root is in tact) and place on the identified area of the DNA kit taping down the hair but making sure not to cover the hair rootwith tape (this is where the DNA is found).
- Fill out horse identification exactly as on application for registration or registration papers from previous association. (All horses registered with another association will be registered with PPHA using the same name unless that name is already used with PPHA in which case an identifiable suffix.)

Registration video requirements and proceedures.
Requirements...
Horse must be unshod.
Gait presentation may be in hand (1 or 2 lines) OR under saddle.
Conformation and way of going presentation in hand and under saddle
Presenting the Horse....
Show the horse leading in halter at the walk, without a saddle, in a 30 foot circle in both directions (clockwise and counter clockwise).
Show the horse at four angles standing (a) front view; (b) right side; (c) rear view: (d) and left side. Be sure to record a FULL-BODY view of each side. Zoom in on the head showing ears, profile of both sides to the poll. Pan down the neck and chest and legs to the feet. Zoom in on the rear, pull tail aside, and move down the legs to the feet. Pan down from the shoulder and move down legs to the feet when recording close-ups, PAUSE long enough to allow recording of the part completely.
Pick up the horse's foot and show closeup of unshod hoof.
Saddle up the horse, mount, and ride for at least five minutes to show gait from the right/left sides; moving straight away from the camera and straight back toward the camera. Ride the horse on a road or hard surface to hear the hoof beats, record close-up of feet and legs in action. By riding on a hard surface, it will be easier for the person reviewing the tape to see and hear clearly the hoof beats.
Camera and recording tips
Record in good light, but avoid positions that throw shadows on the part being recorded. Hold the camera steady - If available, use a tri-pod to help stabilize the camera to avoid shaking or wobbling video. If you do not use a tripod, the camera operator should not walk around or move so much that the resulting pictures are too shaky for accurate evaluation
Don't ride the horse in grass too high to see or hear the feet. At times, the video must be reviewed in slow motion to evaluate the gait, so the feet must be seen.
Talk while doing the video, be sure to say the horse's name and describe the horse and what you are showing on the film. This is especially important if you have more than one horse on the video.
Before mailing it to the PPHA office, please review the tape to be sure that everything is included and can be viewed clearly.
