QUALIFICATIONS

The registered Blazer Horse has been bred to exacting specifications of muscle placement, length of back, length of cannon bone and other technical characteristics which maximize the usefulness of the horse. The qualifications for registration are but are not limited to:

•   A gentle and  willing disposition to facilitate ease of training.
• A refined head for beauty and intelligence.  
• Big bold eyes set well out on the corners of the head for better vision.  
• Extreme sloping of the shoulders for smoothness and ease of movement.  
• A short back to carry weight well.  
• A well rounded croup and long hip for driving power while turning and stopping.  
• Extreme length of the underside to promote speed and a longer stride.  
• Good flat bones for strength and durability.  
• Must be no less than 13 hands and no more than 15 hands at maturity.  
• Blood lines must trace back to LITTLE BLAZE number F-1.

No horse with glass or clouded eyes may be registered nor will horses with Pinto, Albino or Appaloosa coloring.  In addition, horses with white markings above the knees ( except for a blazed face ), may not be registered.  Permanent registration is not attainable prior to the age of two.

All horses accepted into the association must be inspected by authorized agents of the Blazer Horse Association or their employees and must meet the necessary specifications.  Inspection fees and expenses associated with them are to be paid by the owner of the prospective horse to include necessary travel expenses.

A gentle and willing disposition is the hallmark of the Blazer Horse. The ideal Blazer will be from 13 hands two inches to 14 hands two inches weighing  800 to 1,000 lbs.  The horse should be well muscled and well balanced.
