A unique horse, Miljón
from Grund.
Her color is chestnut and black.
The color of Milljon is a coincidental
genetic pattern not reprodusable
(has been observed in other
icelandic horses).
It is called mosaic pattern.
A minimal tobiano.
A black pinto with white tail
(skottóttur) and small socks.
C: Lukka.
A horse can be even more minimal
tobiano.
An icelandic does hardly ever
have 4 socks without having the tobiano gene...
and an icelandic hardly ever
has the tobiano gene without having 4 socks.
Sometimes horses have socks
and hardly a spot on the body above the feet. If such a horse is
bred, it can be a surprice to the owner when the foal is a loud pinto.
In those rare cases where a horse
is with 4 socks and not tobiano, it is an overo. There are some extremely
rare incidents of chestnut horses having a blaze and 4 socks, raising sucpicion
that the sabino gene could be found in the Icelandic horse, but that is
yet only speculations.

On the other extreme end of
the scale is a pattern like this, which is a very maximal tobiano, only
leaving some color on the tail and head, and a little spot on the belly.
In rare incidents the horse is totally which with just color on the ears
and forelock.

A pretty face.
Snoppa from Lindarbrekku.

Snoppa from Lindarbrekku again.
Such rough edges between the
white and black patches are not common.
Blazes are rare on black horses,
which is why you seldom see a blaze on a black and white tobiano.
Irregular white spots on the face like on this mare are a rare treat.

This one has a crucifix - or
bird - on the shoulder.
