Can a buckskin enter an unaffiliated coloured inhand class please? I thought no but certain places say yes?
is buckskin "coloured"?

Some shows accept "unusual colours" which may include a bucksin, but they are not a coloured horse.

It think it depends on if they mean broken coloured only or broken coloured and odd coloured. My old local show had a class that included odd coloured horses and cream dilutions, duns/grullos and spotties counted. They would have let in other rarer colours too, I can't imagine that they would have turned an amber champagne horse away for example. 
Also does the buckskin you have in mind have a splash of white on its body? A sabino type patch maybe? IIRC a white patch above a certain size that is above the elbow to stifle line makes a horse count as broken coloured.

You can't do a coloured class only an odd colour class.

Some local level say anything that isn't bay, grey, chestnut or black is coloured so that would include buckskin. Some put them in odd colour. Chaps classes are just for piebald and skewbald.
In the Shetland pony world however things get even weirder. In minis anything goes (obviously not spotteds as they aren't allowed full stop) but in Standards you have Black classes and Coloured classes. The Coloured classes are for anything that isn't Black so bay, grey, chestnut, multicoloured, roan, dun etc all go in coloured.

It entirely depends on the organisers schedule.

Yes she has a white patch on quarters, about size of a hand

I believe a coloured can be anything with a naturally occurring white patch bigger than (something like) 7 inches in diameter above the point of the elbow. Not sure on exactly the size it needs to be but sounds like the horse would qualify. I imagine an unaff show would be keen to have as many entries as possible at the moment, so unlikely to turn you away

Look on the chaps website it will clarify what is classed as coloured, I am sure they only need a small patch of white on the body.
