I won my bribe on the amazing black frame overo Mustang mare. Now I need to decide which magic marking reference photo to use for her. I'm torn between these three. Thoughts?

Second one, but they're all stunning!

Second one actually looks like a tovero to me (neck white looks like it goes up over the crest) but that could just be the angle of the photo. Personally, unless you could find a second photo of the second horse taken from the other side to prove it wasn't a tovero, I'd go for the first one.

The second horse is a stud with a webpage: http://www.horse-previews.com/1298articles/1298front.html. He's listed as a "1995 Black Overo" by the owners.

I had flipped my favorite side to match the direction of the Mustang mare lineart, but this is his right side:


And this is his left side:


Looks overo IMO with the only odd bit being the tiny bit of white crossing his neck. And it seems like if a stud was tovero, they'd have mentioned it on his stud page. If Silv doesn't accept it, of course, I'll go to one of the others as backup :)

Frame Overo can cross over along the neck sometimes, it's the back & shoulders that almost never get marked by Frame.

Ah, I stand corrected then :)  In that case I would definitely go for that reference picture instead of the first horse :)
