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.
