More specifically, a Paint must have the following:  A registered Paint parent and a registered QH parent or a registered TB parent.  To be eligible for full registration, it must exhibit mixed color characterisitics which consist of any white spot on the body larger than a quarter, white above the knees, and/or white beyond the eyes or lips.  Horses who do not exhibit these color characteristics, but who have at least one registered Paint parent and either a registered QH or TB parent are eligible to be registered as breeding stock. 
 
A "cropout" is a horse with no registered Paint parent who exhibits the above color characteristics and is of registered QH and/or TB breeding.  It is also eligible for full registration.
 
A Pinto is be a horse of any breeding, including unknown, that exhibits the same color characteristics.  The only requirement for registration is mixed color.
