A lady from our yard told me she recently saw in horse and hound magazine a gelding with very similar markings to mine win a high up CHAPS coloured class. I was astonished as didnt realise he would be classes as coloured bue to the stocking on hind leg. Is this true???

Nope, he's not coloured, the marking is due to the sabino gene not the tobiano (coloured) gene. He looks welsh? If so the gene for true coloureds doesn't exist in their breeding (as far as most people know).
 
This loud marking does occur in some Welsh ponies, they are actively encouraging the breeding of them in America. But here in the UK if Chaps would register it then it isnt allowed in main stud book and goes in Sec X. There was a pony a while back Cevara Curly Wurly which did both CHAPS and Reg M&M although if it was eligible for one it shouldnt have been reg in the other.
 
I don't think he could, I don't have any coloureds apart from my appy but I mean like skewbald or tri coloured or piebald sort of coloureds, but I think it's just a leg marking. Xx
 
I have a coloured sec A but its only because of excessive white so she is placed in the part breds register as excessive white cant be pure bred as far as i know :)

Gorgeous little pony though :D

not possible to put it bluntly.

There was a big to do not so long back about the amount of white on the bellys and high on the limbs and whether it could be classed as a true cob (or indeed a true coloured). Clearly if you register as coloured (therefore piebald/skewbald with chaps) then you cant have a welsh of that colour.

Im just trying to find the article on it, it was either on the wpcs website, or in a past journal.
 
It is possible because I have one.......he is registered section A and he is registered with Chaps. He has been to HOYS as a coloured and he competes in Heritage WHP and flat classes.

There is more than gene that causes broken-coloured coat patterns, not just tobiano (frame, splash etc...).

RE, sabino, you can have minimally expressed sabinos right up to maximum sabinos, where the horse is completely white.

Here is Pintoarabian's stallion Picasso Kossack. He is a chestnut sabino and would definately count as skewbald.
