What is a Paint Horse?
Paint horses are a color breed. To add to the above answer. Paint horses were originally 'crop out' Quarter horses that could not be registered due to having too much white on them.

Almost all Paint horses are registrable as pintos provided they have the correct markings.

What are a paint horses' skills?
Every horse is different, coloration has nothing to do with what skills that particular colored horse may have. Thus the question really has no merit. Answer 2: The Paint horse is a pedigree based breed nowadays, unlike when it first started and it was strictly a color breed. The majority of the horses registered were 'cropout' Quarter Horses with too much white, some Thoroughbreds were also added later on. Thus the Paint horse (Not to be confused with a pinto marked horse) Can now be pinto or solid colored and can do anything that it's conformation allows it to do.

How does a wild paint horse eat?
paints are the sames as all horses. The question does not make sense. Wild horses eat just like other wild herbavores. They graze on grass and plants. As far as I know there are no "wild" paints. The paint horse is actually a specific breed. Derived from the American Quarter Horse and selected Thourobred. They had too much white on their coats so could not be registered as Quarter Horses. The American Paint Registry began around 1965 to provide a registry for these "too white" Quarter Horses. Wild horse herds have "pintos" which are horses that have the same patterns as the Paint horse breed but they can be any other breed or combinations of breeds. I believe American Mustang is now considered a breed but these horses can't be registered Paints because they did not come from Quarter Horses or Thoughobreds. Simply put, Paints are a breed, pinto is a color or color pattern.

Origin of Paint Horse?
Paint horses were originally just Quarter Horses that had excessive white on them. Because the AQHA had white restrictions for the registry any horse that had white that extended over the eyes or notrils, above the knees and hocks, white patches of hair on the body larger than 2" with pink skin underneath it were excluded from the registry on account of these white patterns. Horse lovers felt that these genetic Quarter Horses with too much white on them where too valuable to be discarded as pedigreed animals. So the APHA (American Paint Horse Association) began their own registry to breed, show, work and value these wonderful horses. In the past decade or so the American Paint was the fastest growing breed in the world. *Ironically, the AQHA has lifted the white restrictions on their registations, stating than any horse reguardless of coloring can be registered as long as both parents are register with the AQHA.
What is the most common breed of horse to get injured?
