Overo - Tovero and Other Mixed Patterns

Tovero and Other Mixed Patterns

Main article: Tovero

A tovero horse has pinto spotting patterns that show characteristics of both overo and tobiano and probably carries genes for both. For example, a tovero might have tobiano body spotting with rounded edges and white across the back, yet have irregular facial markings and blue eyes.

Horses may also have a combination of sabino and frame overo genetics or any other combination of genes, resulting patterns that are difficult to smoothly classify into any one group.

    “Those graceful acts,
    Those thousand decencies, that daily flow
    From all her words and actions, mixed with love
    And sweet compliance, which declare unfeigned
