Coloured Piebald
A Piebald horse is the term given to a Coloured horse which has patches of black over white.
Although Piebald horses are generally Tobiano, like Skewbald, Piebald is a phenotype because it refers to a description of the appearance, not actual genetics.
Our stallion Ricco is Piebald and a handsome chap too! Our Stallion at Stud section has details of Ricco's Coloured Progeny, Performance, and Thoroughbred Bloodlines.
