With the height varying from 14 to 16 hands, the general appearance of the Araloosa should fit the registry's slogan "tough but elegant." The head must be small and refined. A dished face similar to the Arabian's is desirable but not essential. Eyes should be large and encircled with visible white sclera; ears should be small and curved inward like crescents. 
      The neck of the Araloosa should have a natural arch but shouldn't be overly long. Withers are not prominent and the back is short. Although the ideal topline for an Araloosa is level, the Araloosa should have a slightly sloping croup and a long , sloping hip, along with deep heart girth and long underline. the overall appearance of the Araloosa should be symmetrical and athletic.
     An Araloosa in action is almost unsurpassable in beauty. It has the springy prance, flared nostrils, arched neck, tail carriage of the Arabian, coupled with the striking contrast of a white blanket and/or spots, striped hooves, and sclera-encircled eyes.
     Due to its oriental heritage, an Araloosa foal is likely to inherit loud coloring, although many Araloosa foals are born with little or  no color, then "color out" as they mature. Characteristics such as evident sclera, mottled skin, and striped hooves should be present from birth, even if Appaloosa-type color is not. A variety of patterns exist, but the following are most common:
Spotted Blanket
White Blanket (Snowcap)
Marble(Varnish)
Leopard
Snowflake
Lace or Frosted Blanket
