Sabino

Look here to see the rest of the horse color posts.

Sabino is a paint pattern that is fairly common, but not as much as Overo and Tobiano. A Sabino horse typically has 4 white stockings, a blaze or bald face, and white under the belly. This pattern is very common in Clydesdale's. A horse can also have the sabino gene and not have any white on its belly, so the horse only shows a bald face and stockings.

Here are 2 Clydesdale sabino horses:





Here is an example of a horse that does not have white on its belly.



This sabino foal has a very high stocking on its back left leg:



This is a good example of classic sabino.
