Yes and no. The Paint horse was started as a breed due to Quarter horse breeders tossing out or killing perfectly good horses just because they had 'too much' white on them, which associated the horses with Native American tribes. To prove the horses were valuable the registry was started and any Quarter horse with too much white was allowed to be registered. they also then accepted Thoroughbreds into the registry after a period of time. Nowadays there are distinct bloodlines within the Paint and many of them are actually still purebred Quarter horses.
The term paint refers to a horse with a broken coat color (there is a minimum amount of white over pink skin to be classified) that is also within strict bloodline requirements.
To be registered with the APHA the parents must be registered with APHA, AQHA or the Jockey Club (meaning a thoroughbred). At least one parent must be APHA registered.
Therefore, many paints are of strong quarter horse lineage, some horses are cross registered between the quarter horse and paint horse registries.
When a horse is not within these breed requirements, yet still retains the colorful coat pattern they are simply called a pinto. Pinto refers to the coat color whereas paint is a breed.

∙ 12y agoYes basically they are, they are almost the same as the Appaloosa also. The Quarter horse was originally created by crossing the fastest running horses that could be found with thoroughbreds. The result was a stocky horse that came in every possible horse color. When the American Quarter Horse Association formed they banned 'excessive' white markings as they thought color determined how good a horse was. So some women formed the American Paint Horse Association and began registering theses 'crop outs', but they also allowed for outcrossings with registered Quarter horses and Thoroughbreds. This is basically what happened with the nearly extinct Appaloosa breed, and now all three breeds are almost exactly the same.

Very little. The Paint horse began as Quarter Horses that had excessive white markings, in Paint talk these are called 'cropouts'.

The AQHA has color restrictions, so many of these very nice 'cropouts' were not accepted for registration, making their value much less. So the American Paint Horse Association was born. Since 1965 these wonderful, colorful horses have grown in popularity for their kindness, versatility and beautiful coats.
