In addition to cryptic frames, a significant proportion of horses with the frame phenotype are visually misidentified, even in clinical settings. [9] 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]
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.
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 significantly wider than the vertical marking to be ...
In 1989, Baldski-Diplomat Way was used as an example of a negative nick in a nicking pattern table published in The Blood-Horse, due to no stakes winners being produced from 19 foals bred on the cross. Later, stakes winners were bred on the cross, eventually totaling 3 stakes winners from 28 foals (10.7%).
The colour markings were not unlike those of Clydesdale horses, with the desired pattern being four white stocking and a well-defined bald face. Large Dutch horses (possibly of Brabant and Friesian descent) were imported by William III when he discovered that the cart horses of his era were not strong enough for the task of draining the ...

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]
