The main characteristic of the paint horse is it's loud colored coat. The horse will stand anywhere between 14.2 to 16.2 hands high. They will excel in all forms of riding and driving. In the last 20 to 30 years, they have developed more from a color to a true breed of horse and have been crossed with Quarter Horses and Thorobreds to enhance their performance.

There are three categories: Heavy Horses such as the Clydesdale Belgian Draft, and Shire. Light horses such as the Thoroughbred, Standardbred, and Tennessee walking horse. and Ponies such as the Welsh pony, Chincoteague Pony, and the famous Shetland pony. Hope that answers your question! ^.^
