Is my paint horse a medicine hat?

Sorry, I can’t post a picture. His ears are brown and the brown continues all around his poll and forehead. The rest of his head is white. He has 2 blue eyes.

Yes, I believe so if I am imagining your description correctly.

No one is quite yet sure how all paint patterns work, but generally medicine hat type patterns are classified as toveros, a mixture of tobiano and overo genes for patterns of colors.

Is your horse registered?
The APHA association web site should have definitions for all that, as per their registry.

He sounds like a Medicine Hat.

Does he have the war shield on his chest?

Different people have different definitions of what a Medicine Hat is, and some say they have not only the war bonnet but also the shield.

Google “Medicine Hat Paint” images and you should get some good pictures – maybe one with a war bonnet similar to your guy’s.

He doesn’t have the shield on his chest. Thank you for your answers.
