Re: One of those interesting reverse blazes!
It's possible, isn't sabino anything we don't know what it is!! :D
I 'call' it splash, only because a lot of these weird dark markings where white could normally be, have what I'd consider splash type markings, but it might be the splash and sabino, or even tobiano, getting confused together!
Re: One of those interesting reverse blazes!
Well I think of these as Splash, and the reverse blaze is just a more extreme version! The last one is halfway there! I do have a better one somewhere that is a mixture between the first few, which makes my thought progression more obvious, with the colour going across the nose halfway up but can't find it right now!

Re: One of those interesting reverse blazes!
@_@ I've got to learn how you guys identify these horses as being splash. Darn those white pattern interactions. I think that many of these horses people like myself have considered one or two patterns, are now three, or two different ones then we originally thought.

after awhile it just starts happening? LOL I still can't get it all the time, but I have noticed I've gotten better at it the past few years.
Re: One of those interesting reverse blazes!
Ok I'm going to try this again, please feel free to agree/disagree/correct lol.
Splash - Clean edged white markings, long socks, belly splotches, roaning unusual. Looks like they were picked up from above and 'dipped' in white paint. Broad face markings often bottom heavy and sliding off one side of the face, (blue eyes possible).
In this case if it was a blaze filling where it ought to be then I would see splash in the width of the marking and the dribbling out on the nostrils affect. As it is.....looks like splash got confused.

Lots and LOTS of time looking for it, and looking at it. I can't count the amount of hours I've put in tracking bloodlines and looking at horses to track where it all came from and what it looks like. You start seeing patterns within the patterns after a while.
Splash for me is bottom heavy, and lopsided, everything else can kinda come with other things, but splash by itself tends to be smooth and not jagged. But the absence of those things doesn't mean it that splash isn't there. There isn't one thing that says splash. Its not A=Splash its A+B+C-D-E+F=X. Everything has to be part of the whole.
Dunbars Gold is the perfect example of bottom heavy and lopsided. His markings are also fairly smooth
