A frame overo. Overo refers to several genetically unrelated pinto coloration patterns of white-over-dark body markings in horses, and is a term used by the American Paint Horse Association to classify a set of pinto patterns that are not tobiano. Overo is a Spanish word, originally meaning "like an egg". [1]
Currently, the American Paint Horse Association categorizes horses as tobiano, solid, "overo", and tovero. [21] The association breaks down "overo" into three categories: Frame, Splash and Sabino. [21] In the past, "overo" was used even more loosely, to refer to spotted animals that were "Paint, but not tobiano". [21]
SW1 is the most common known variant. It is incomplete dominant, meaning it has different effects depending on whether one copy or two copies are present. Horses heterozygous for SW1 (one copy) may have a minimal splash pattern, or may be completely solid. Horses homozygous for SW1 (two copies) have the more extensive classic splashed white ...
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 ...
A similar effect is observed in pinto horses with both the tobiano and frame overo pattern; these "toveros" often have more white than either tobiano or frame overo-patterned horses. Similarly, two apparently solid-colored horses with separate factors for white markings may produce a foal expressing both, with more white than either parent.
