Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses must stand above high to be registered. Horses above this height are divided into two categories: Class A horses stand taller than , while Class B horses stand high. Horses registered with the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association (KMSHA) may be found in all solid colors, with white markings allowed on the face, legs and small patches of the belly. Horses with excessive white, including "bald face" or full white faces, white above the knees or hocks, or showing pinto markings (including tobiano, overo and sabino) are instead registered with the Spotted Mountain Horse Association (SMHA), a subsidiary of the KMSHA. Solid colored foals of two SMHA-registered parents are usually registered with the SMHA, but solid-colored geldings of SMHA-registered parents may be registered with the KMSHA, though they cannot be dual registered.
