Notes de l'éditeur
- Tobiano CharacteristicsTobianos almost always have a 'war shield' spot of color over the chest and shoulders plus a spot on each flank; occasionally only one flank spot is seen and rarely, none. Tobianos usually but not always have facial markings like a solid horse: star, stripe, snip, etc. (Bonnet and apron faces may suggest the horse is actually a tovero.) Most tobianos have mixed white and colored manes and tails or one of the two. The spots usually have even, non-jagged edges. They're usually smoother looking than overo patterns; however, this isn't always the case. The majority--but not all--tobianos have white extending over the backboneOvero characteristics:Although the classic frame has white on its sides, many frames have white spots that spread from the belly up to the back. Ninety-nine percent of all frame overos have solid color over the backbone from the withers to the tail bone. The majority of frames have clean, jagged-edged spots that often have spots within. Facial markings on frame overos are usually like normal face markings: star, strip, snip, blaze, bald, etc., but can also have bonnet and apron faces. The edges of these markings are usually smooth like regular markings. Most frames have solid manes and tails. Occasionally one will have white in its mane where a spot crossed over the neck, but only rare individuals will have wild half and half manes like tobianos; these horses are probably sabino-frames or toveros expressing their tobiano gene.
- Sorrel is an alternative word for one of the most common equine coat colors in horses. While the term is usually used to refer to a copper-red shade of chestnut, in some places it is used generically in place of "chestnut" to refer to any reddish horse with a same-color or lighter mane and tail, ranging from reddish-gold to a deep burgundy or chocolate shade.Sorrel or chestnut coloration can be distinguished from dun by the fact that a dun horse has a gene that causes slightly washed-out yellowish color, with a darker mane and tail than the rest of its coat, may have areas of darker color on the shoulder and forelegs, and also possesses a narrow, dark line down the middle of the back.
