Bright Mark
(Bright Enough [QH] x Bright Wonder [QH]) Chestnut splash white stallion, owner unknown. This horse and the one below share the same dam, Bright Wonder, and the same grandsire on the sire side, Bright Bar. Bright Bar's dam was Maddon's Bright Eyes, who passed on the splash to Bright Bar. Bright Wonder's sire was Bright Red, another son of Maddon's Bright Eyes!

(QH x QH) 1970 bay splash white gelding previously owned by Mike Dixon, Propect, TN

Continental Kismet

Gambling with Fire
(Gambling Man x ?) Brown splash white stallion owned by Al Reece, Paso Robles, CA

Anangel N Disguise
Black splash white mare owned by Liza Williams

Barlink Ultra Lite
Black splash white mare owned by Margaret Courville. This mare is by Barlink Macho Man, a stallion known for producing splash whites, although he isn't obviously colored as one. Upon closer study of his pattern, I believe Macho Man is a splash/frame overo.

Bright N' Bold
(Bold Chic x Bright Trouble [AQHA]) Sorrel splash white/frame overo stallion owned by Bill Caswell Paint Horses, Phoenix, AZ. This stallion appears to have two overo patterns going on in its coat.

Hint of Conclusive
Chestnut splash white stallion owned by Ed & Linda Work of Trinity Farm. This stallion shows a minimal form of splash.

Skipalong Paint
Chestnut splash white stallion owned by George Pachello of Lone Star Paint & Quarter Horses, Castle Rock, CO. Here's an example of a splash white without white around its blue eyes

Name Unknown
Chestnut splash white/sabino or splash/frame colt owned by unknown. This colt shows a minimal form of splash.

These horses *LOOK* like splash whites but are probably sabinos, splash/sabinos, or splash/frames. Notice the jagged edges to the spots. This is not typical for splash whites but *is* typical for sabinos or combined patterns. These horses are excellent examples of patterns which are difficult to indentify correctly without being able to see the sire and dam

Reddy Robin
Chestnut splash white/sabino, splash/frame or sabino stallion owned by Scott Livestock, Cincinnati, OH. This horse has classic splash markings except for the neck spots, which suggest sabino or frame. Like the filly above, this horse could be pure sabino, but I think he's a blend.

Name Unknown
Black sabino or splash/sabino, or possibly splash white filly owned by Schwartzenberger Equine Center, Longmont, CO. This filly may is probably a sabino judging by the ragged edges to her spots, but the way the dark color falls suggests splash. Confusing, eh?!

Machos Ultrabrite
Chestnut sabino or splash/sabino, or possibly splash white filly owned by Linda Smathers, Chehalis, WA

Elegant Elly
Chestnut sabino or splash/sabino, or possibly splash white mare owned by Herchel and Diane Williams. Yet another confusing horse to identify...

Country Zig Zag
Chestnut sabino or splash/sabino, or possibly splash white filly owned by Keith & Karen Hagler of Bar Open Box K Ranch, Longmont, CO

Three Nuggets & Unnamed Foal
Chestnut sabino or splash/sabino, tovero or possibly splash white mare and her loud sabino/frame overo colt; owned by the Edwards Ranch, Ryan, OK

Encore
Chestnut SABINO stallion owned by Jim Eaton of Atlanta, TX. This horse is positively identified as a sabino and is here to show you how similar some sabinos are to splash whites

Splash White Appaloosas. Because of the popular 1960 stallion, Mighty Bright, splash white pintaloosas are not all that hard to find (there are also Appaloosas with sabino and frame genes as well; sabino is fairly common within the breed).

Mighty Bright
(1960-1974) This red dun splash white blanketed Appaloosa stallion was one of the breed's most influential sires; he was also responsible for pulling splash white into the breed. Minimal white overos can be difficult for knowledgeable people to spot so it's understandable why these horses were merely considered to have a lot of white markings.
