What a beautiful horse.  You should be very proud of her.  I had horses when we lived in TN.  I sure miss them.

She is a cutie! Does she have two blue eyes or just the one? And we definitely welcome horsey pics as they are in a way a bigpaw...Fire my DraftX thinks he's a lapdog ;).

Oh, Shiloh is gorgeous! LOVE the coloring! ;)

I just gave up my horse (Thoroughbred) last spring and I miss him (he went to a great home though) but seeing pics of BPO'ers horses is always nice! :)

It's rare and mostly found in the Paint/Pinto breeds usually when there is a lot of white around the eyes. Both my mare and the foal I just took in both have completely bald (white) faces except a few spots around their right eye and mouth but both of them have brown eyes.

annnd Great Pyr what a beautiful horse!

She is a blk and white paint,she is an Overo paint.Overo is the color pattern.
I had 6 horses! A pony,my daughters App and barrel horse(she moved and took those two with her)and 2 Buckskins that where older horses,22 and 25 and a TB.I downsized to only 1 horse since we are moving and will not have room for them all.Both old guys went to retirement homes :)

Actually from what I can see in your pics she looks like she should be a Medicine Hat Tovero as her spots are not irregular. She's a medicine hat because she has a bonnet/war hat over her ears.  It looks to me like she shows characteristic s of both Tobiano and Overo. I've become almost an expert on markings since my stallion was born and I had to argue with the association about his coloring. He's marked Tobiano but has white over both nostrils making him technically a bald face according to their standards...an d the bald face is an Overo trait.

Here's a pic of my Overo mare, notice the jagged/irregularness of her markings and the color on her legs? (oh and the idiots that registered her marked Dun, she's not a dun...haha)



If your mares markings aren't irregular like that and she has white on her legs then she's def. Tovero (they are the rarest of the 3 pattern categories) and it can be hard to tell sometimes and are normally registered as Overo or Tobiano. White legs is a Tobiano trait. My friends medicine hat mare was registered Tobiano  but she's so old that when they registered her all the apha had was tobiano or overo. 

ok i'll hush now... Enough about paint pattern lessons.

Thanks for the great info,She has 4 white legs so she def could be Tovero,I was told her hat is a war Bonnet and not Med hat,Med hat runs only over the ears,hers runs over the ears and on her Poll area,she also has on her chest what they call a shield.


Your Paint is stunning by the way! I have a friend thats paint is alot like yours,if you look in my one pic you can see part of him next to Shiloh.

A war bonnet is still considered a medicine hat. It's just a larger marking. Both are still usually classified as Toveros now a days (some Framed Overos have Medicine Hats/bonnets, like my mare). Both horses with Medicine hats and war bonnets usually have a "shield" on their chest and "shields" on their flanks.

Here's a pic of the filly I just rescued, she's a Medicine hat Tovero but her markings show more characteristic s of an Overo except that her color doesn't go all the way to her withers. (My mare Sweets is her grandma).
