So what is the official terminology for these markings? Other than bloody ugly
. Her eyes are both blue if that helps

I'm thinking Splash White.
The white on her tummy is more coming from underneath than you would see with a Frame, which should have the white on their sides. The near hind stocking has a smooth edge, like she's stood in a bucket of paint. Also the way the white comes up the near fore and over her chest, then up her neck. The big white face with blue eyes also indicates Splash.
PS - She's not ugly, she's super cute.

I would also say frame overo... but stand to be corrected by the colour gurus!
ets: standing corrected! I thought splash had to be more white than this... but after now reading the description, it is more apt!

The thing with all of these 'pinto' genes (I include sabino here) is that they can be expressed minimally, right up to maximum expression and everything inbetween.
The white markings (face and legs) that we don't tend to associate with coloured horses, are caused by the same genes. It's just that we say that once there is white on the body, above a certain size and level, the horse is now 'coloured'.
ETA - I've just seen the new photo and I think that she is a Splash White. She's very fancy really.

Splash as Faracat says. Splashed white is an overo patterning as Whisp & Willow says.
Splashed whites have solid lines rather than the 'lacey' edges that denotes Sabino, the white face and blue eyes is also very much an Overo thing.
Very unique little pony Lovely.
There is someone else on HHO who has a black Overo Shetland, I think he could be Splashed as well.
