Minimal Tobiano

Hi Folks, Could everyone please post photos of tested minimal tobianos. Just having a discussion on another general horse forum & the general concensus is that tobianos must have a body patch :BH Have tried to explain, not necessarily so, some pictures would be good. Thanks in advance.

A Tru One Ina Million bred by PineSpringFarms. Not only is he tobiano he is homozygous tobiano

Tested twice for tobiano, once with the marker test, once with the mutation test.

This mare is also apparently tobiano. Sire is supposedly homozygous, and she apparently tested positive for tobiano

I need to bookmark this site for a few "experts" that I know who swear my mare is that dreaded "TO" word (don't want to be smacked by RF - :laugh1 ) and yet horses like this are NOT (because of no body white :hammer ).

Oh very interesting set of pictures. BTW that top one is visually also a splash. His hind socks are way too much higher than the front for only tobi and that snip, er...white nose, is screaming it.
note how the others with no face white have more even socks.

The hind white movement on the first one is very much a tobi thing though. It seems most minimal tobis I've seen have higher white behind (especially minis). I wonder if that horse has frame too.

pictures?
If that nose isn't Splash I'm a duck.

I agree the snip is splash. I just don't think the splash is having much, if any impact on the leg white.

Duck and Rabbit, soon we'll have a regular petting zoo. :laugh1

I still say those legs are showing splash. :P

This thread is so so old, but is there anyway to get the pictures from it into our tobiano gallery? I find myself searching for these images often, and if they were in the gallery it would be easy to find.

If someone knows the contact information for A Tru One Ina Million and the other big horse I can request permission to add them to the gallery. For the time being I will sticky this thread.
