easily be called a "Splashed White" overo. He has the white legs,
up-from -below white pattern, and white head needed. However his pattern
is more jagged, he has more black patches inside the white, and he only
has one blue eye, where this pattern should have two, suggesting a cross
with another white pattern. |
