When you cross a quarter horse and a thoroughbred, you will get an appendix quarter horse. The paint may or may not come out in the foal. That is all in the genetics, and I would need more info to tell you that.
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.
If its a purebred Paint and a Purebred QH, you should be able to register it with both associations. Hope this helps.
Very little. The Paint horse began as Quarter Horses that had excessive white markings, in Paint talk these are called 'cropouts'. Two solid colored QHs can and do quite ofter produce a foal that is very colorful. 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.
More than breed, body type is what will be similar. A 15.2 Quarter Horse will weigh about the same as a Paint, Arabian, Appaloosa, crossbreed, or Morgan of the same height. Horse's bone structure will also play a part. A 15.2 Quarter Horse may weigh less than a 15.2 Shire or other heavier draft breeds.
The breed of horse would be the Azteca. In Mexico the cross is predominately Criollo x Andalusian. While in the USA the American Azteca uses Quarter horse or paint stock in place of the Criollo.
Pinto is a color not a breed of horses. There is a Pinto Horse Association which can include any breed. The American Paint Horse Association includes only horses with Quarter Horse, Paint Horse, or Thoroughbred bloodlines. So a 'Pinto' is a white and any other color in 'patches' of any breed, while a 'Paint' is white and any other color in 'patches' of the Quarter Horse, Paint or Thoroughbred breeds.
Quarter horse, thoroughbred, arabian, paint
Traditionally, nothing - both are horses with two or more colors in patches. The American Paint Horse is a breed that has been fairly recently recognized, however - paint horses must have Quarter horse and Thoroughbred bloodlines.
You will not see a Paint horse in the Kentucky Derby. The Derby is for Thoroughbreds only. A Paint is a spotted horse with Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred bloodlines.
No, there is Arabian, Appaloosa, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, American Paint Horses, and mutt races. I know this because I am a horse racing freak. I keep a log on all TB race horses that have a chance in the big races (Kentucky Derby, Melbourne Cup, Belmont Stakes, etc...)
The Paint breed was 'created' by women and ranchers who were tired of hearing that their 'colored' Quarter horse stock wasn't good enough for the American Quarter Horse Association to register. Thus they formed their own registries which later merged into the American Paint Horse Association. They originally took any Quarter horse or Thoroughbred that had 'excessive' white marks. The Paint breed is now based on bloodlines and is DNA typed to prove parentage, unlike most other color registries who's only criteria is that the horse be of a specific color, regardless of breed.
The breed matters little. The horse is what really matters. Whether it is a Shire or a Shetland, a paint or a quarter horse, you want an older, calm, well trained horse that has plenty of experience in the disipline you want to try. The breed or size doesn't matter- it's the heart and willingness of the horse to partner with you and keep you safe and allow you to learn and improve. Also, a Paint horse is likely to be genetically very similar to a Quarter Horse, since the Paint breed is a color breed that was derived from the Quarter Horse.
The American Paint Horse is a breed of horse that combines both the conformational characteristics of a western stock horse with a pinto spotting pattern of white and dark coat colors. The American Paint Horse shares a common ancestry with the American Quarter Horse and the Thoroughbred.
Quarter Horses Throughbreds Paint Horses
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. A registry was formed and after a while the Paint horse became a breed based on pedigree rather than color alone. Almost all Paint horses are registrable as pintos provided they have the correct markings.
a black and white Paint
Quarter horses are a breed, where Overo is a pattern, similar to Tobiano. "Paint" horses are considered their own breeds too. Try looking into this horse's genetics to find out more about it's blood lines. Certainly a Quarter Horse may have an Overo pattern, but so can a Paint horse.
