Tobiano is a coat pattern commonly found in paint horses, characterized by large, distinct white patches that can appear on any part of the horse's body. These patches typically have smooth, rounded edges and are often accompanied by a base color, which can range from black to chestnut or bay. The pattern is a result of a specific genetic trait. The Tobiano pattern is one of several color patterns recognized in horses, alongside others like Overo and Tovero. Horses with this pattern are often sought after for their striking appearance and are popular in various equestrian disciplines, including Western riding and dressage.
