Karla wanted to see pictures, so here they are! It has been raining all day and just let up long enough to go take a few shots. Missy, the Paint, is hubby's horse and Buster, the Sorrel, is mine.

Question!
Hubby and I got into a discussin' last night ... what is the difference between a pinto and a paint? Or is there a difference?
And, am I correct in saying that pinto/paint is a color designation rather than a breed as in "Arabian" Quarterhorse" Paso Fino ,etc?
<wave>
(Obviously, my background is rather limited to bays <g>)

Here is a quote from a horse site, hope it helps!



What is the difference between a Paint and a Pinto? A Paint is a specific breed of horse, bred for the conformation and musculature similar to a Quarter Horse, and also bred for unique coloring. Paint horses aren't always colored, some turn out solid but may still carry the genes needed to have colored offspring. Pinto, on the other hand, is ANY breed of horse exhibiting the colorations below (Common breeds that you may see exhibiting these colors are Arabian, Saddlebred, Mustang, Icelandic Horse, and many others).

I havent checked it since this morning but the only thing I can say from what I read then is that he does do this in all gaits.

They do get along great and it is kind of funnybecause until she met Buster, She had always been the "Alpha" horse. :lol:
