Oh, My, what a delightful site! Now, not being that knowlegable, what is a "frame" type? ( I am getting "sabino" down)

Also, what do for sale ads mean by "chrome" when they say "lots of chrome on this little lady!" or something like that. I had thought it might mean some kind of sabino markings, but maybe it just means "spit and polish"?

I think they say 'chrome' being like socks, blazes- white markings. I don't get the 'frame' thing, but think it must be like a description for the way they are marked? We just call the brown and white Skewbald, black and white Piebald- and a mixture is a Tri-colour!!! (so much easier... but there has only ever been one Skewbald racehorse here- and she raced over the jumps a couple of years ago)

It is so interesting how this lady BREEDS these type of tb. Good on her! :D

Correct. "Chrome" refers to white markings.

"Frame" is a class of the Overo pinto pattern (though, I'm beginning to hear that the three classes of Overo are all from 3 separate genes and shouldn't be grouped together) where the white stays generally on the sides of the horse without crossing the top line (making the "white" look 'framed' by the horse silhouette).

"Splash White" Overo looks like the horse walked through a big bucket of paint -- the white starts at the feet and extends upwards, but doesn't cross the topline.
