Tobiano or "Tovero"

Canadian Sage · 05-07-2008, 07:44 AM

THis guy is in question of being tobiano or "tovero"

Owner of this fellow hasn't responded yet wether or not there is any overo (splash or frame) in his genes...BUT if there isn't is it possible SABINO is doing this to his face?

What do YOU guys see?

I thought frame + Tobiano? Mom looks like she carries the sabino gene.....

Definitely a tovero and yes, mom does look like she's a sabino.

I agree. Tovero. He's a adorable.

I need more in-depth answers as to why LOL...

I am trying to explain to this lady (and other people) that hes a tovero. 1. reason being his face isn't "solid"...so came here for a more educated answer lol!

He's obviously got the tobiano gene... As for the overo - his face is proof that he has an overo gene. A true tobiano has no white on it's face. Also, the marking on his right hind has jagged edges to it which is also an indicator of overo.

Tovero, with the Overo part being at least from Splash. His face is VERY much Splash. Sabino could be hiding in there, no way to tell unless he actually tested for SB1.

Mom looks to be Tobiano + Splash (all that white under her jaw) + Sabino (the ticking), and it wouldn't surprise me if she tested for Frame as well.

Definatelytovero. Tobianoand splash at least. That face is CLASSIC splash!

Tobiano + splash for CERTAIN and possibly sabino.

The one sided head is sooooo very splash.

This foal qualifies as tovero in EVERY sense of the word (APHA and genetically, which is rare).
