I would have to say Tovero. One of each gene. No matter what we breed our blue eyed black tovero mare to we are guaranteed color, and you never know which type of pattern you'll get out of her.

Bred to a black Canadian stallion for a few years now and we have gotten:

a black tobiano, Cache Frison Nymph


a black tovero with 1 blue eye, Cache Frison Promise


and this year a sorrel tovero! Cache Phenom Undercover

hi Jhickie - unless the mare is homozygous you are never gaurenteed a coloured foal - she has the ability to throw a solid baby from both the overo and toby side :lol: also i believe this last foal is a straight frame overo not a tovero - have you got more pics of him??? He is very cute (forgive me if i am wrong:-p). You should have a look at the article that i posted in the articles section - all about the geneology behind a new sabino 1 (sb1) gene that they have isolated. Really interesting read if anyone is interested.

Also Smbros - your horse is a Tobiano :D

I am partial to the Sabino Type pattern.:D

I have to admit I went years where I didn't like coloureds/paints at all! *hides* but now I really like Tobianos... although it really depends on the individual horse... I recently saw an Overo that I thought wow, I could own that horse... so out of character for me!!!

I agree with I Love Lane that Cache Frison Promise and Cache Phenom Undercover are overos and oh so pretty. Also allthough toveros do tend to throw a high color percentage they do not guarantee a colored foal.
nice to see that because i thought that i was going mad :lol:

she is a mare - he name is Ima Lover Too - won the world with her as a yearling but she would be 7 now. This is a photo that her new owners sent me (not new they have had her since she was 2 :-p) of her Mister GQ colt that was born last year on Valentines Day - Ironic when her name is Lover :shock:
