Frame overo, splashed white, and sabino are three separate pinto patterns, genetically unrelated, that are grouped together under the name "overo". The frame overo pattern tends to have white spots on the flanks and face, surrounded by a dark "frame" of color. If two horses with the frame overo gene are bred together, there is a 25% chance the ...
Although frame overo horses are themselves healthy, if two horses with the frame gene are bred together, there is a 25% chance that the foal will have lethal white syndrome. Affected foals are fully white and die shortly after birth. [11] Splashed white
He divided pinto patterns into a dominant "piebald", describing patterns now known to come from tobiano, frame overo, and sabino, and a recessive "splashed white". His splashed white appears to be describing only the more extensive form of the pattern seen when two copies of SW1 are present.
One study found from a group of visually inspected registered Paints, 18% of breeding stock solids and 35% of bald-faced horses were actually frames. [9] However, over one-quarter of Paints registered in the "overo" category were not frames, and conversely, 10% of horses registered as tobiano also carried frame genetics. [9]
Gray The greying process is progressive and unique to the horse. n/n: No grey. EDNRB (Frame Overo/Lethal white syndrome) OLW or Fr n: OLW/n: Frame Overo pattern - Pinto horse pattern that forms a solid “frame” around white spotting. White is usually horizontal in orientation with jagged edges, rarely crossing the back, and often has a top ...
The coloration is almost always present from birth and does not change throughout the horse's lifetime, unless the horse also carries the gray gene. It is a dominant gene, so any tobiano horse must have at least one parent who carries the tobiano gene. Other spotting patterns seen in pinto horses include frame overo, splashed white and sabino.
The Tovero (also known as Tobero) [1] coloration is a mix of tobiano and overo colorations in Pinto horses and American Paint Horses. The genetics of pinto coloration are not always fully understood, and some horses have a combination of patterns that does not fit cleanly in either category. A tovero horse with blue eyes and "Medicine hat ...
Bay: A horse coat color that features black point coloration on a red base coat. All bay horses have a black mane, tail and legs (except where overlain by white markings), caused by the presence of the agouti gene. Most have black hairs along the edges of their ears and on their muzzles, and occasionally will have a slight darkening of the ...
