Paint is a breed the same way that Pinto is
a breed – they have a registry that selects by color. Paints are Quarter
Horses with pinto characteristics and the AQHA will not register them, so they
came up with their own registry.

Paint is a breed and
pinto is a color. But........the Pinto Association has endurance awards
for their registered horses. I got one one year when I had my 1/2 arab
who was also registered pinto..mb
Paints are tobiano, overo and tovero patterned horses of Quarter
Horse breeding. Pinto's are the same coat patterns of any other breeding
or mixture of breeds.
I
printed out the brreds info for 2006 that was on the other day and I noticed
that PINTO was considered a breed...I always thought PINTO was a color and
PAINT was a breed....???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Am I wrong ???????????????????????
