She's 1.5 years old, mixed breed. Owner has been told filly is a "tovero" (ducking now), and I've explained what "tovero" really stands for...base colour, presumed black, filly does have one blue eye, presuming full blue, not partial.
So, what patterns do y'all see?

Re: Patterns?
The mare's right side. The white that juts out towards her flank is not typical of tobiano alone movement. Not only is horizontal flow like that not a tobiano thing, but the sharp shape of the markings isn't either. Tobiano moves in smooth, round flows (going down from the topline usually). Anything pointy edged is likely not due to tobiano alone, especially not if it also has a horizontal angle.

Tobiano and splash for certain. I see reason to believe sabino. I doubt frame, but it's possible.
