- A Tobiano is basically a white horse with big, rather regular spots on it.
- (White goes across the back. Head usually has color on it.) Usually white
- legs.)
-
- An Overo usually has white on its belly with color splashed on top. Markings
- tend to be jagged. Usually has a lot of white on its face. May have color
- on legs.
-
- Then there's the tovero, sabino, and medicine hat patterns.
- But I'll let a Paint person get into the details.

- P.S. For those of you over 40 who remember The Cisco Kid--Cisco
- rode an overo pattern horse. Let's see now, on The Longer Ranger Show,
- Tonto rode a tobiano pattern horse.
