The Campolina breed is a young breed relative to other established horse lines (Akhal Teke, Arabian, Lippizan) and breed standards are still evolving.
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.
In the new ideal, male nasal bones are prominent, retain the height of the earlier ideals but are now expected to generate a smooth 'curved and continuous' appearance (see The desired head shape of a Campolina).
The ideal for the profile of the female head is more dynamic with a narrowing between the nasal bones to refine the lower face.
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.
 Both male and female head profile ideals are moving towards refined, narrow curvature in the lips, especially the upper lip.
In the case of the female Campolina, certain breeders now seek to develop the curvature of the croup and buttocks to balance the nasal profile (i.e. an "egua" (female horse) with a strongly curved profile must present a full, developed curvature of the rear).
