The detail
A stock-type horse with Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred bloodlines and a pinto coat. Underneath the color it is the same calm, athletic, cow-savvy horse, and it carries the same inherited disease risks plus one of its own.
What to weigh
White areas of skin sunburn easily and can develop skin problems. Frame overo carriers can produce a fatal lethal white foal if bred to another carrier, and stock-horse disease panels still apply.
