White 35, or W35, is one of a group of over 30 white or pinto patterns. They were grouped together because they're found on the same gene, called KIT. Visit the Sabino page learn about the others patterns in the W group.
W35 generally causes white markings like a blaze, star, snip, or socks. Or no markings at all as it may act as a white booster when combined with other white patterns. The W35 white markings don't have any specific characteristics that make it stand out. They look like the typical face and leg markings found on any pony.
There's a test available for White 35 and it was found in Chincoteagues via test. The first Chincoteague W35 was found in is Assateague's Spirited Lady. It's present in the feral Assateague herd as she is from it. White 35 is dominant and cannot skip generations, but it's likely you can not tell a pony has it by looking at it. W35 was initially found in Quarter Horses/Paint Horses but has since been found in many breeds.
