Description
- Over time, coloured spots may be added, but the white "plates" usually do not change.
Often Pintos are mistaken for Paint Horses because they look very similar to them. Paint Horses, however, are a breed of their own, Pintos a colour breeding. The pretty fur patterns can basically occur in any breed. The animals are then referred to as Arab-Pinto or Tinker Pinto. There are even pintaloosas - a mix of pinto and appaloosa. The rule of thumb is: if you don't know the breed of a pissed horse, you can confidently say Pinto. That's true in any case.
