Hope this is the right place to post this. What's everyone's favorite paint pattern? Mine is tobiano.

Tovero is a catch-all term that means "ummm my horse has tobiano and some other white pattern". It can mean tobiano plus anything really.

My favorite pinto pattern would, I think, be considered splash. As far as pintos go, I like horses without a whole lot of white on them, so some high whites and a couple of belly spots are about as far as I like to go.

However, I did ride this one little paint horse that was really flashy looking. I think he was considered a tobiano...

Well, I picked Frame. But I like a really loud overo. So a combination of Splash, sabino and frame suites me well.

I like mixes of patterns.

I like either clean looking tobianos or LOUD markings of the others. I'm picky about white faces; I don't like it when there isn't any "eyeliner" on a paint.

And Smrobs, I actually think yours could be an overo, unless is had white crossing the back (Neck crossings don't count for a tobiano)

Not to pick a fight but my paint has "tovero" on her papers. So I assume the APHA considers it as a pattern some sort.

As for favorite pattern: none. :D

The APHA also only recognise 16 colours, and then say that APHA horses come in all coat colours.

There was this horse (Ghost) at the summer camp I work at that is my absolute FAVORITE paint pattern. He has 4 high whites - all the way up to his body, the fronts stop as soon as they touch his body and the back leg whites join together under his belly, and a kinda bald face (wide stripe?). I just think facial markings like his are the absolute cutest ever.
Too bad he's a gray and it's therefore impossible to really photograph his white. haha
I also really like how Ghost here is so fleabitten that it's not crazy hard to see his white. He has "ninja white" where it's there and cool, but you have to find it.




I also really like what sabino does to horses. That splashy look is so pretty!

I'm not a fan of most tobianos or those "look like a cow" pintos, but I firmly believe that a good horse is never a bad color, so I try not to discriminate. :lol:
However, sorrel tobianos/cow-looking horses get a free pass. Something about sorrel mixed with lots of white really gets to me. I'm not a fan of sorrels with minimal white though! Anything else can have minimal white, I'm weird. haha!

Whatever this little man is (splash? sabino?), I want it.




I'm really picky about my pintos. I only like bay and white tobianos with more white than bay. I only like black (or other dark color) and white overos. I HATE horses with only a small amount of white markings and a lot of base color, especially with that base color is sorrel. Picky, picky...
