Quest is Bay/Tobiano/Sabino.
Tobiano (pronounced: tow be ya' no)
The dark color usually covers one or both flanks.
Generally, all four legs are white, at least below the hocks and knees.
Pattern of white marking that commonly take the form of large splashes. Generally, the spots are regular ad distinct as ovals or round patterns that extend down over the neck and chest and will travel across the spine extending downward between the ears and tail in a clearly marked pattern.
The head is usually dark except for a facial marking pattern - blaze, strip, star, or snip.
A tobiano may be either predominantly dark or white. The tail is often two colors. The eyes are usually dark
Sabino: (pronounced sa bean o)
With color and markings similar to a roan, the sabino is genetically different.
Usually markings will be on the belly and appear to extend outward from the belly as patches that are flecked and roaned, with ragged edges. The legs often have white extending upward in peaks or points along the front or back of the leg bones; disconnected white leg markings are common.
The face commonly has a lot of white. The eyes of sabino are often blue and many have eyes that are partially blue and brown.
Sabinos can be all or nearly pure white (appearing extensively roaned) though they will usually retain a small patch of pigmented skin.
