Tovero, Overo, Sabino, Pinto

       

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.

       

 

Blue eyes/sock/blaze

Blaze and sock

 

The above horses are from Overo matings and are NOT OVERO

 

 

Bald face, brown eyes, splashes

Bald face, belly splash

Bald face, sock

Snip, star, blue eye

The above horses are from Overo matings and are OVERO


 

All have wild markings, some have blue eyes

The above horses are from Pinto matings, and are NOT OVERO/TOVERO

 

 

Sabino
Light colour on head
Sabino
All white
Sabino/ OVERO
Black lip spots, all white
Sabino/OVERO/Buckskin
All white
       

The above four horses all show the extreme SABINO gene.
2 are also OVERO from OVERO matings. 2 are Extreme Sabino only from NON OVERO matings.
NONE are double dilutes and only one has a dilute parent.

 

   

Wild markings, but NOT A TOVERO.
Possible Homozygous Pinto

Wild markings, carries the Pinto and Overo gene.
TOVERO

       

The above 2 stallions were both sold to me as TOVERO, one is and one isn't.
Buyer beware when buying TOVERO/OVERO ask for PROOF, it is a simple procedure to test for the Frame Overo Gene.
