Were selling a yearling filly and I would like some opinions on her pattern, as we've been asked what she is. I think she is splash and sabino, any other thoughts? She has 2 blue eyes and a white bottom lip. Her sire is an overo and her dam a tobiano.

I agree with MM, I see splash/frame.

I see splash and frame. But i do not see sabino. The edges on her white are actually quite crisp. The blue eyes can be caused from the splash gene. The frame i do see based on her legs. If she was only splash, id suspect her legs would be mostly white since splash is very bottom heavy. Frame restricts white on the legs. See how her right hind is lacking white? Thatd be caused by the frame restricting the white from expressing. And her right fore, there is mimimal white compared to the left fore. Frame again.

:) I love her.

Definitely frame and splash. Splash because of the way her face and body white is so bottom heavy. Frame because it is trying to spread above her eyes, and because her legs are so dark compared to the amount of white she has on her body.

Frame,splash & tobi :D. Tobiano just the way white wants goes up the one hip. frame the solid colored legs are the biggest tell sign.The belly white looks splash but white on one side & neck more frame & the more jagged edges to the white. Blue eyes could be splash or frame.

I personally don't see any tobiano. If tobi was there, the leg white would connect to the body white on that side where it hits the hip. Also, minimal tobiano that tries to cross on the hindquarters tends to head for the tail head rather than the point of the croup. Another consideration is that tobiano likes to leave white in the flank area, as it has in this mare, not take it away as in the OP's horse.

First of all, Paint is a breed- American Paint Horse to be exact, and pinto is a color [really it's a pattern, not a base color, anyway]. Pinto covers frame, tobaino, sabino, splash, dominant white, and I think that's all the pinto patterns...?

I see frame and splash.
 
She's a Splash Overo and a very pretty one at that.

This site may be of a bit of help to some wanting to learn the differences with photo examples :)

No. That site is outdated and uses terminology that no credible person would use. "Overo" and "Tovero" are not correct terms, and are not used in genetic circles ever. The only reason they persist is because backward registries still use them, and people who don't know any better.

Thanks everyone!
@ Blazeriversong I know, she goes between this nice rich red and a darker sorrel as the seasons change, and she's just stunning
