HEIGHT 16.0hh to 16.2hh, but height should not disqualify an otherwise good sort
COLOR: Cleveland Bays must be bay with black points, i.e. black legs, black, mane and black tail. Gray hairs in the mane and tail do not disqualify. These have been long recognized as a feature in certain strains of pure Cleveland blood. White is not admissible beyond a very small white star. Legs which are bay or red below the knees and hocks do not disqualify, but are faulty as color.
BODY The body should be wide and deep. The back should not be too long and should be strong with muscular loins. The shoulder should be sloping, deep and muscular. The quarters should be level, powerful, long and oval, the tail springing well from the quarters.
HEAD AND NECK The head characteristics of the breed should be bold and not too small. It should be well carried on a long lean neck.
EYES Eyes should be large, well set and kindly in expression.
