Dec.18,2020What does Overo mean? Overo refers to several genetically unrelated pinto coloration patterns of white-over-dark body markings in horses, and is a term used by the American Paint Horse Association to classify a set of pinto patterns that are not Tobiano. Overo is a Spanish word, originally meaning “like an egg”. That’s in that other world. In THIS world, Amaretto has done something else with the Overo-given us a lovely shaded coat to play with in varied colors, starting with the Overo Amber. On November 21, 2015 the 2015 Thanksgiving Limited Edition Horses. They were hiding the first Overos, the Overo Amber!
The next Overo was hidden in the March 2016 St Patrick’s Day LEs, the Overo Clover in great shades of green. By breeding the LEs you had a chance to get these lucky green coats.
For Fathers Day June 2016, Amaretto released the Father’s Day LEs. By breeding any of these you could get a chance at the Overo Azure!
Also in 2016, the December Christmas Limited Editions, the Winter Traveller, Ugly Christmas Sweater and Santa’s Reindeer were released. Hiding inside these great LEs was the Overo Berry!
Amaretto celebrated Summer with the release of the 2017 Summer Edition – da-dum da-dum da-dum Horses! Hiding inside the 2017 Summer Edition – da-dum da-dum da-dum was the Overo Prism. These were a big hit with people working on their rainbow trait projects.
Amaretto decided to celebrate the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Dog which only comes around every 12 years! From Jan 20, 2018 until Feb 2, 2018 you could pick up your 2018 Chinese New Year Edition – Year of the Dog at any Amaretto location! Hiding inside the 2018 Chinese New Year Edition – Year of the Dog was the Overo Gold!
The 7th Overo coat to come along was the Overo Orchid. This was hiding in the 2018 Astronomy Day Edition Animals, available at Amaretto stores from from Apr.17,2018 to May 1, 2018! The purple people were pleased as punch over these!
To change things up a bit Amaretto released its first 2018 Friday the 13th Editions, the Friday the 13th Edition – Spirit Board. They did not have to be bred together for a chance to get the new Overo Ebony.
Christmas 2018 brought the next round of special LEs, the Blitzen, Snowfall, Nutcracker and Sugarplum Fairy Limited Editions. These adorable LEs had to be bred together for a chance to get the ghostly appearing Overo Ivory. Well done Amaretto designers!
And finally, on March 17, 2020 Amaretto released 2020 Twilight Editions! You did not have to breed these animals together to get an awesome surprise! These editions were available from March 17, 2020 until March 31, 2020 and were hiding the Overo Twilight coats.
All of these fabulous Overo coats can pass, giving us the chance to combine them with all the other traits Amaretto has. Possibly to make a new trend horse! Happy Breeding everyone
