A horse of any colour with a patch of naturally occurring white coat on the body above the level of the stifle or elbow, not including face markings, is classed as coloured by CHAPS. Any doubts can be confirmed with a DNA test. The amount of colour or white is not taken into consideration when judging (in CHAPS classes).

I don't see where a DNA test would help - white markings as described can be caused by a variety of white markings genes, not just tobiano which is a single dominant gene and testable.

Possibly not, but CHAPS would use this info in conjunction with photos and possibly breeding to determine whether a borderline case was eligible for registration or not.

OK - so if you have a minimally marked horse or pony (say a little patch of white about the size of a donut somewhere high up on the horse), is it really worth registering as a coloured with CHAPS and actually showing it? I have seen questions of this nature before and always wondered if it was really worth the bother??? Are they actually going to do well showing as a coloured? Obviously for the purpose of this question, said horse/pony is perfectly schooled and has great conformation too ....

There are no marks for colour, for the CHAPS ridden classes the marks are 50% ride, manners and way of going, and 50% type and conformation.
