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.
