Not
EVERY
horse with a blaze/snip/sock/blue eye or patch of white is a Tovero or
Overo.
Not EVERY
foal from an OVERO mating is an Overo.
To be either
OVERO
or TOVERO
the horse
MUST
have a parent that carries the Frame Overo gene.
Here are some examples of Tovero, Overo, Sabino and Pinto. |

Buyer beware when buying TOVERO/OVERO
ask for PROOF, it is a simple procedure to test for the Frame Overo
Gene. |
