1 overo
(Sp. model spelled same [oßero], from an earlier form hobero, of uncertain origin; it is possibly from Vulgar Latin falvus 'peach-colored,' but that does not explain the term's ending)Adams glosses this term as a borrowing from Argentine Spanish that refers to a pinto horse with white spots originating on the underside and extending upward. Such a horse is also characterized by multiple smaller dark spots. The DRAE glosses it as a peach-colored animal, especially a horse. In the Americas, it refers to a pinto or piebald horse. Santamaría references it as a pinto, or a horse or cow that is white with reddish-brown or black spots. He notes that the meaning of 'peach-colored horse,' as referenced in the DRAE, is not used in the Americas. Islas describes overo or overo colorado as a pale or light-colored horse with a white face and legs.
