[7] The appearance of markings such as white socks or a star on the forehead neither adds nor detracts to the horse in terms of official judging.

[5] Campolinas are not, however, described to have a true Roman nose, as the convex profile begins approximately two finger widths below the base of the orbit.

The muzzle should be soft and rounded, usually dark in colour, as are the hairs of the inner ear, mane and tail relative to the coat over the body.

The ears are evenly placed when viewed from the front of the horse and not extend vertically more than three times the width of the eye when measured across the inner pinnae.

In the relaxed forward pose, the ventral line of the neck from the caudal most point of the cheek to the top of the chest is quite straight.

In a relaxed state, the balance of the face and neck from the side view can be evaluated by drawing a tangent from the points of maximal curvature.

In the case of balanced conformation, the tangents should intersect roughly one inch in front of the ears (in the forward alert position).

There should be a good inverse symmetry in silhouette or side profile between the curvature of the underline and the fully outstretched neck and head.

When evaluating the animal's side profile, special attention should be paid to overall anatomical balance, which in this breed can err in overdevelopment of either the withers or the croup.

Very low tail sets often indicate mixed bloodlines with a likely influence of the Mangalarga Paulista in the genetic make-up of the animal under observation, but can be accounted for by a number of other breeds.

The provided images show the successive removal of the squaredness around the torso and shoulders and the nasal bones when viewed in profile.

Historically, breeding schemes emphasized structure idealized for stereotyped, smooth and even paced gait.

Current trends have suggested a move away from the square mouth and retilineo or straight region of the nasal bones as in image presented below.

The curvature of the nasal bones should appear to extend naturally from the intersection of the orbit and maxillary and lead gently into the muzzle.
