COLOUR PATERNS
TOBIANO – (pronounced toe-bee-ah-no)
The Tobiano Pinto is basically a white horse with patches of colour. It generally has white legs and white crossing the backbone. The head, chest, flank, buttock and often the tail are the usual coloured areas.
OVERO – (pronounced o-vair-o)
The Overo Pinto appears as a dark horse with white
marking. These markings are of irregular shape with
jagged edges and normally originate on the horses side or belly, often spreading towards the neck, legs and back.
Colour appears to frame the white areas. An Overo
usually has a dark mane, tail, legs and backbone. Bald or white face often accompanies the Overo pattern
TOBERO
Horses which show definite characteristics of the two marking patterns described with the Tobiano and Overo are referred to as Tobero.
SABINO
The Sabino Pinto is a dark horse with large white belly splashes which come up the sides from underneath. The belly splashes must be visible from a distance and easily seen at eye level
