This rule does not preclude a person from enhancing The natural color of the a horse’s mane and tail can be enhanced by artificial coloring. Hoofs may can only be colored with black, brown or clear, with the exception of a costume class. Nonpermanent coloring Color enhancements may can be used on the legs and head of any a horse. White markings must remain white. Any horse that which has been color enhanced beyond the above show guidelines must be disqualified for the entire show and all previous trophies, ribbons, and points will be disallowed for that show. Note: This proposal was rejected by the Show Rules Committee in 2014 and thus was not presented for a vote at the 2015 Annual Meeting. However, because it had been submitted with the signatures of ten (10) current directors, per the flow chart, it should have gone forward to the Annual Meeting for a membership vote. 90 Miniature Horse World D E C E M B E R 2 0 15
