TOVEROis a term used for color patterns that appear to be a cross or blending of Tobiano and any of the Overo family of patterns. This is entirely possible genetically, since all of the pinto genes are dominant.
 There are 3 main types of Tovero:
Tovero Foal
TOVERO is characterized by extensive white over most of the body. | Tovero is a term used to describe horses with both Tobiano and Overo characteristics, or any spotted horse that does not fit clearly into either Frame Overo, Sabino, Splash, or Tobiano classification. The most common factor is a bald or extended white face with a tobiano pattern. Another form of Tovero is mostly white, with only a little color on the flanks, ears, chest and muzzle. Extreme Tovero, like Extreme Sabino, is pure white, or nearly so.

Most foals that are born 100% white and live past the first week are Extreme Tovero or Extreme Sabino. Tovero can be tricky to identify.
