The use of colorant, glue, dye or hair to hide an injury would merit which minimum offense level?

Explanation:
Hiding an injury with colorant, glue, dye, or hair is deception that directly masks the horse’s true condition, affecting fair judging and welfare. That makes it more than a minor issue, but not necessarily an automatic disqualification. Therefore it falls at a Level 2 offense—the minimum level appropriate for this kind of concealment. Level 1 would be too light for a misrepresentation of health, and Level 3 (DQ) is reserved for more severe or egregious violations.
