Blue eyes not caused by Splash, Frame, or Cream?

Is it at all possible for blue eyes to be cause by something else, for instance dominate white or sabino? I ask because this Akhal Teke mare http://www.akhalteke.cc/forsale.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Alajoz has a blaze, four stockings, and a blue eye. It also shows images of her pedigree.

[quote="JNFerrigno"][quote="CheyAut"]I also agree. I have two horses with a blue eye who are negative for frame. One has just a lower half blaze as his white (besides an appy blanket) and while the other is a leopard, there are black spots near his eyes and on his eyelids, and I see no indication of ANY white caused by splash, but it must be due to him being negative for frame (btw what I mean by no indicators, he has a lot of black spots on his face and lower legs that wouldn't be there if there were face white or leg white). So, two blue eyed horses without white markings touching them.[/quote]
Wait what? Blue eyes horses without frame or splash?[/quote]

That half-blaze is a splash blaze.

Splash + sabino tends to make a blaze fighting to cover/cross over the eyes. Sabino doesn't want to be near the eye, splash wants to cover the eye area with white, so you get that "close but no cigar" look. The chestnut and the black both show that classic "fight".
