If a black mare is bred with a piebald stallion what color will the foal be?
Black mare aaE- Piebald stallion aaE-To- (we assume here that the spotting pattern is Tobiano, but he could be Overo, Sabino...and as long as the stallion has only a single spotting allele the spotting pattern can be arbitrarily assigned.) Piebald, by definition is a black horse with a spotting pattern. It is not known if either the stallion or the mare carries e at the extension site so there is a possibility that the foal could be chestnut if both parents are Ee. If either parent is EE all foals produced will be black. 50% chance of a white spotting pattern unless the stallion is homozygous for his spotting pattern (if he is overo he can only be heterozygous) which would make the chance increase to 100%. If the stallion carries multiple different spotting alleles...like Tovero (tobiano and overo), Sabero (Sabino and overo), etc. there is a 75% chance of the foal having a spotting pattern.

What is a tobino horse?
I think you mean a tobiano horse. :) Tobiano is a coat pattern found in Paints and Pintos. A tobiano horse's base color will be white, with patches of another color - perhaps brown, or black. The opposite is overo, in which the horse is a solid color with patches of white overlaying it. A tovero is a mix of both patterns, and is not as common.
