What is a Tobiano?
A Tobiano is a color pattern. The head will usually be marked like a solid colored horse, either being solid or having a blaze, stripe, star, and/or snip. All four legs will usually be white, at least below the hocks or knees. Body markings will usually be regular and distinct, often being oval or round patterns that extend down over the neck and chest giving the appearance of a shield. The Tobiano paint will usually have the dark color in one or both flanks. The Tobiano may either be predominantly dark or white.
