Tobiano is causing white to cross at her tailhead, and on her neck. It is also the reason she has high white on all four feet. Sabino is probably the other white pattern at play here - the white is very "messy" with really messy edges. Sabino also likes face white to be fairly symmetrical, hence the T on her nose. It's also the cause of the chin and throat spots.
She is a textbook tobiano. White lower legs. White on her bum and half-white tail. As little white on the face as possible. White on the neck interfering with the mane. Pawprints.
She's Tobiano. You could have her tested and I'm sure she'd test positive to be homozygous for the Tobiano gene which as mentioned before is indicated by the cat tracks in her markings (not always but quite often).
I'd say Tobiano too! If you check out my avatar picture that's my boy Rocky he is homozygous for Tobiano. You can tell because of the pawprints and he's got sharks teeth on his bottom legs above the coronet band as well, and obviously he was tested. She's cute!
Pawprints have long been associated with homozygousity, but there is little actual correlation between tested ToTo horses and pawprints. There is just as many Toto horses that have them as there are ToTo. It is not an indicator of zygousity at all.
