Many people ask what is the difference between a Paint and a Pinto?
Paints and Pintos are both horses of color. Paints are strictly horses with Quarter horse, Thoroughbred, or Paint breeding. Pintos, however, can be many different breeds such as Arabian, Morgan, Saddlebred, Tennessee Walking Horse, Trakhener and others. Most Pintos are registered with more than one breed/color registry.
Pintos come in a size for everyone - - horses, ponies, miniatures, utility and even longed eared!
