Registered SWB horses five years of age or older may be presented for inspection during a SWANA Inspection Tour. Older horses can attend a Quality Test (ages 5-10), Broodmare Evaluation, or Stallion Evaluation, or they can be inspected in-hand and scored according to the criteria:
Five areas are evaluated with a maximum score of ten points possible in each area:
- Type
- Head/neck/body
- Legs

- Trot in hand
Older horses will be divided into four classes:
| Class I |
38 -50 points with no score lower than five |
| Class II |
35-37 points with no score lower than five |
| Class III |
34 points |
| Class IV |
<34 points |
Class III and above registered SWB horses only are eligible for branding.
