Appearance

Sabino is characterized by white markings with very uneven/irregular or even roaned edges, starting from the legs and often causing white spotting on the belly, as well as bold white face markings.

Sabino horses often have white speckling throughout their coat, and subtle roaning.

Even as a maximally expressed sabino there should still be some coloured areas or speckling visible.

Optional effect: Silvertail

Even if sabino markings are minimal or barely visible at all, the tail can be fully or partially white.

A partial expression appears as a soft gradient where the bottom of the tail is white or much lighter than the base of the tail. A full expression makes the tail completely white.

Silvertail is not written in the phenotype, a silvertailed sabino horse is still only called sabino.

Optional effect: Badger face

Both sabino and overo can have the badger face marking, causing the white facial marking to have occluded spots, appearing as reversed blazes or white stripes along the sides of the head.
