Who are you trying to register with CHAPS? To simply register a horse with them, they will not need to be vetted or graded, that is only if you want to grade a stallion or broodmare with them.
We had one hell of a fight with CHAPS trying to get Wonky registered, despite him having a CHAPS covering certificate. Because he only has white stockings, white tail and a tiny white splodge under his mane, they said he was not classed as coloured, despite the fact that his dad was homozygous coloured.
If you just want a passport overstamped, or you want a passport issued, you do not need vettings etc, but you will need a vet to fill in the ID form.

Are you a member? If not then get the Horse Registration Application, Non Members form, print it off, fill it out and get the vet to do the indentication bit, send it back and they will register her and do a passport.

I cannot register my mare with chaps as she does not have enough black on her,I think it has to be a certain percent of each colour.My mare is down on her passport as grey and black.

Since all the hassle with CHAPS (and despite now having our boy fully registered with them - they had to give in) if I had another coloured in the future I would register them with the BSPA (Brtish Skewbald and Piebald Association). They are much more approachable in my opinion.
EF - nice to see that you have finally got the coloured you want! You are getting quite a herd now.

The main reason for registering with each society is that if you would like to compete at HOYS you need to be a member of CHAPS and if you would like to compete at RIHS then you need to be a member of BSPA.

I was having a think about this earlier EF, and tbh if your mare is registered welsh, you would be better off getting your foal registered as welsh partbred, and then 'overstamped' by CHAPS or BSPA.
The trouble is, because you do not know the sire, and the mother is not registered with CHAPS or BSPA, the foals breeding would be recorded as unknown. If you registered her with as WPB, you would at least have some of her breeding on paper - then you can overstamp her passport with the coloured horse stamps.
Just because she is coloured, does not mean that you have to have her registered with coloured horse societies - as above said, this is really just necessary if you plan on showing the horse under those societies.
