The American Paint horse was originally part of the Quarter Horse breed. However horses with pinto markings became undesirable and were not allowed to be registered as Quarter horses. The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) was founded in 1965 to register pinto marked horses with Quarter horse ancestry. The APHA absorbed both the American Paint Quarter Horse Association (APQHA) and the American Paint Stock Horse Association (APSHA.) Both of those registries were around before the APHA. The APHA also allowed in Thoroughbreds with Overo markings.


If by chance you mean a pinto horse they have been around for tens of thousands of years, if not more.

How long do paint horses live?

A paint horse is a breed of horse, not a different species, so they live 25 to 50 years. Some people say that pinto and paint horses are the same but they are not. A paint horse is a breed of horse, but pinto is a type of coloring, meaning that any breed of horse can be a called pinto horse, as it is the coat pattern, not the breed of the horse, that defines a horse as a pinto horse.


What are paint horses personalities like?

To know what the personality is likely to be like in a paint horse, you need to first look at the horses breeding. Paint horses are this way due to colour genetics playing a part. This is nothing to do with the breed of the horse. Any breed of horse can be a paint if bred with the right colour genetics. Personality is more based on horse breed, for example Quarter Horses are known for their laid bay personalities where Thoroughbreds can be more highly strung...but either can be a paint horse in colour. Typically Quarter Horses and some pony breeds are found with paint colouring.


What horse is bettter for beginner a quarter horse or a paint horse?

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.


Do all paints have paint colts?

It really depends on if she is a purebred paint and if you breed her to another paint. If you breed a purebred paint and you breed it with throughbred bay, then there is a chance that the colt/filly may be bay or a pinto. If you did breed the horse this was, it's offspring would not be a purebred paint colt/filly. Also, it depends if your horse has a colt. Your horse might have a filly. You can't really change that....it's at random=)

What type of horses in rain in spirit stallion of the cimarron?

Rain is considered a paint mare in the movie. Because paint is a breed, if she was a pinto, that would just be her markings, she would have to have a breed, like mustang. Actually a Paint horse is just a horse type not the actual breed itself. They don't say what breed Rain is just her coat type. Only the breed of Spirit and his herd is mentioned.
