Registered SWB horses five years of age or older may be presented for inspection during a SWANA Inspection Tour. Inspection, scoring and branding of older horses who are not entered in other classifications (i.e., 3-4 year test, broodmare evaluation, and stallion testing) will be judged on the following criteria.
Five areas are evaluated with a maximum score of ten points possible in each area:
- Type
- Head/neck/body
- Legs
- Walk in hand
- 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.
See the Fee Schedule for inspection fees. (The current fee is US $ 75)
For horses aged over 2 who are being branded for the first time, an additional brading fee applies. (The current fee is US $ 75)
