Overo refers to several genetically unrelated pinto coloration patterns of white-over-dark body markings in horses, and is a term used by the American Paint Horse Association to classify a set of pinto patterns that are not tobiano. Overo is a Spanish word, originally meaning "like an egg". [1] The most common usage refers to frame overo, but ...
Splashed white or splash is a horse coat color pattern in the "overo" group of spotting patterns that produces pink-skinned, white markings. Many splashed whites have very modest markings , while others have the distinctive "dipped in white paint" pattern.

Currently, the American Paint Horse Association categorizes horses as tobiano, solid, "overo", and tovero. [21] The association breaks down "overo" into three categories: Frame, Splash and Sabino. [21] In the past, "overo" was used even more loosely, to refer to spotted animals that were "Paint, but not tobiano". [21]
The term "cropout" is today most closely associated with horses of American Quarter Horse breeding. [2] These horse are often registered as American Paint Horses, where the term usually refers to horses with overo coloring and whose parents were solid horses not registered with the APHA. [3] It may also refer to sabino-patterned horses. [1]
For example, the American Paint Horse Association still groups sabino patterns in its “overo” family of color patterns, even though sabino, splashed white, and frame overo are produced by different genetic mechanisms and are visually distinct. [2]

Tobiano is a spotted color pattern commonly seen in pinto horses, produced by a dominant gene. The tobiano gene produces white-haired, pink-skinned patches on a base coat color. The coloration is almost always present from birth and does not change throughout the horse's lifetime, unless the horse also carries the gray gene.
