The Paint Tobiano Horses
There are a lot of different Paint horses out there that you can get.
However, one style of Paints that you may want to look into is the
Tobiano horses. This is one of the Paint breeds that is well known.
Today we are going to cover the different characteristics of Paint
Tobiano horses so that you can see what they have to have in order to
fit into the Paint category. They we are also going to talk a little
bit about the health problems of Paint horses and if the Tobiano is a
horse that is a carrier for those genetic problems or not. In the end,
you will known a lot more about Tobiano horses.
When looking at horses to see if they are Tobiano Paint horses, you
need to look at their markings. Really, Tobiano horses are going to
have white legs from the knees down. Not only that, but they are going
to have a type of white crossing from the back down between the withers
and the dock of their tail. Most of the time, the white on these horses
is going to be arranged in a type of vertical pattern. Usually, the
facial markings of these horses are going to be very similar to those
of solid colored horses. If they have a lot of white facial markings,
this may suggest that there is another horse presence in the genes of
the horse. People have also noted that they normally have white patches
on their body. These are normally going to be rounded, but can be oval
in shape as well. Last, but not least, they normally have a dark color
extending down their neck.
Now, as we all know, Paints have a bad history of health problems. This
could be because of the horses that where mixed a long time ago to get
the coloring affect that people wanted. The good news is that the main
problem that people worry about, lethal white syndrome, is not
something that the Tobiano is known to be linked to. Of course, in some
Tobiano horses, that may have overo ancestors, they may have the gene
that is needed to make the lethal white syndrome in their
offspring.

on them is amazing, and that is why people love these horses. They are
