The American Paint Horse is ideal for farm living. These horses are versatile, loyal, strong and sound and make wonderful companions for any horse lover. Paints are the Quarter Horse's colorful cousin. They share many of the same bloodlines and as a result have the Quarter Horse's temperment and 'can do' attitude. And I know this for a fact because I own Paints and have for many years. Once you get past their beautiful coats you will find a horse that loves people and one that wants to please.

Thus the APHA developed over time to record pedigrees and promote the breed.
