Examples of piebald (black tobiano) horses

Raisa from Kirkjuhóli, black pinto, with her black pinto foal. Š-LUKKA Dísa from Reykjarhóli having a good time. Š-LUKKA Lokkur from Keldulandi. Š-LUKKA Erill from Keta, with a wing (vćngskjóttur). Š-LUKKA Black and white pinto with a medicine hat. Š-LUKKA Dísa from Reykjarhóli Š-LUKKA A unique horse, Miljón from Grund. Her color is chestnut and black, forming a pinto pattern. The color of Milljon is a coincidental genetic pattern not reproducable (has been observed in other icelandic horses), her babies have not had this color. It is called mosaic pattern. A minimal tobiano. A black pinto with white tail (skottóttur) and small socks Š-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 a aplash white. 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 Š-LUKKA 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. Náma from Halldórsstöđum. Š-LUKKA A pretty face. Snoppa from Lindarbrekku. Š-LUKKA 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. Š-LUKKA BACK TO PINTOS
