American Paint Horses are a distinct breed that can be registered with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) and are found for the most part in North America, but can be found elsewhere around the world due to export for reining and western riding pursuits.The American Paint horse is not to be mistaken for a pinto, which is any breed or mix of breeds with a pinto pattern.
American Paint Horse's live everywhere in the world. They originated in the American Plains, and were used by Native Amercians. They are called "the Soul of Indians" or "Indian's Son/Daughter" Amercian Paint Horses were captured by Britans, and sent all over the world when they raiding the Native Amercians. Now they make great show horses, or pasture pets!
Originally Paint horses were 'outcrops' from Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses. These horses were distniguished by their pinto markings. The word pinto comes from the spanish word pintado which means paint or painted. The term used to describe the white and colored patches of the horses coats. Eventually a registry was formed around these pinto horses and to distinguish them as a pedigree breed they began using the term 'Paint' instead of pinto, which is now used to distingush any horse with a colored coat but is not a purebred Paint horse.
In horses, APHA stands for American Paint Horse Association.

Some of the horses used in the US Cavalry were pretty much any horse breed they could get their hands on. FL Crackers, Paint horses, Quarter horses extc.
In the USA there is only one breed called Paint, that is the American Paint Horse, whose parent registry is the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). All other part colored horses are pintos.Other breeds may carry the pinto genes/ patterns, but are not considered Paints as they do not come from Paint horse stock. For instance Gypsy Vanners ( also called Gypsy Cobs, Tinker horses, and colored cobs) carry the pinto genes, but are not Paints.
