Blaze: a wide white stripe down the middle of the face. Strip, stripe, or race: a narrow white stripe down the middle of the face. Bald face: a very wide blaze, extending to or past the eyes. Some, but not all, bald faced horses also have blue eyes. Star: a white marking between or above the eyes. If a stripe or blaze is present, a star must be ...
The word "points" is given to the mane, tail, lower legs, and ear rims with respect to horse coloration. The overall name given to a horse coat color depends on the color of both the points and the body. For example, bay horses have a reddish-brown body with black points. [3] Point coloration is most often produced by the action of the agouti gene.
Gray horses have a white hair coat at maturity but unless they also happen to carry dilution or white spotting genes, they do not have pink skin and are not white at birth. In some cases, horses with high white stockings and bold face markings often labeled sabino carry a splashed white allele, notably SW-1, SW-2 and SW-3. [35]
A heavy horse, usually with some draught horse bloodlines and typically fitted with a harness horse collar, is used to rope the selected calf. The calf is then pulled up to several sloping topped panels and a post constructed for the purpose in the centre of the yard.

The head is often white or bald-faced, and blue eyes are not uncommon. The frame overo pattern usually behaves like a dominant gene, in that when frame overo horses are crossed on nonspotted horses, about half of the foals come out spotted. [2] There are records of frame overos being produced by two nonspotted parents.
He was a sorrel gelding Quarter Horse with a white blaze down his face. [1] When Bozo was 2 years old, Peterson bought him for $400 [ 2 ] [ 3 ] from her neighbor Mike Hatfield. She came home with Bozo on Thanksgiving Day of 1989.
One study found from a group of visually inspected registered Paints, 18% of breeding stock solids and 35% of bald-faced horses were actually frames. [9] However, over one-quarter of Paints registered in the "overo" category were not frames, and conversely, 10% of horses registered as tobiano also carried frame genetics. [ 9 ]
