hello, bonjour
please call me believe
herro der mes amis, i am believe. proud canadian, ottb loving, colt breaking, nfr dreaming. pictured on the left is my racetrack reject, landofmakebelieve, aka molly, moo, shmoo, whatever name comes to mind x] molly is a 10 year old canadian bred thoroughbred mare, and standing at about 16.2hh, we look a little wonky when we chase cans, but la dee da that's alright. molly and i tried several disciplines. i tried desperately to get her to catch on to dressage, but unfortunately, she still has the race bred mind and is all go. however, together we found a discipline which we could both enjoy; western gaming. this summer we started travelling to barrel races locally. our current record on a standard size pattern is 17.314 and we are improving with every run. and to all the low budget barrel racers out there such as myself, a word of advise; chin up darling. you may not have a million dollar mount under your butt, but you and your crossbred, rejected, hard headed, rescue baby can do it. you know why? cause those girls sitting in their custom circle y's, upon shiny, top of the line mounts are full of themselves. they think there's no way they can lose. they get cocky. stay humble, believe in yourself, in your horse, and most importantly ride your little heart out.

Hmm, good question!
Because the medicine hat marking seems to be almost always (if not always) a part of the tovero pattern, you probably wouldn't want to breed two together -- that could cause lethal white in a foal. However, simply breeding for a tovero should pretty reliably get you a medicine hat almost every time, so in a way, yes c: The thing is that "medicine hat" isn't a gene like tobiano where I could just make the paints homozygous for it, so it really does have to be bred for rather than passed down ^^' Sorry!
If you bred a homozygous tobiano with a homozygous splash, you should very likely have a good chance at getting a medicine hat foal ^^ At the very least, it will be tovero. Other combinations of overo with a homozygous tobiano should give you about 50/50 c:
