Is an American paint horse a quarter horse?
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.

What does AQHA stand for?
American Quarter Horse Association A quarter horse is a breed of horse known for its speed over short distances. The American Quarter Horse breed evolved during the early 1600s, as Arab, Turk, and Barb breeds were brought to America and crossed with horses from England and Ireland. The result was a compact, muscled horse that was ideal for short-distance racing. Characteristics include limited white markings on the face and below the knees, heavy muscling, and a gentle nature. There are 13 colors accepted by the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) as being indicative of quarter horse heritage - sorrel (most common), brown, chestnut, gray, dun, red dun, buckskin, black, bay, grullo, red roan, blue roan, and palamino. While the quarter horse is most widely known for its short-distance racing ability, it is also used to: 1)herd cattle, 2) numerous rodeo events and for 3) English classes of dressage and show jumping. The bloodline of the American Quarter Horse has been preserved by the American Quarter Horse Association, which sets forth a strict set of guidelines in regard to registration. One of many such guidelines is the fact that each American Quarter Horse foal must have an American Quarter Horse sire (father) and an American Quarter Horse dam (mother). In order to keep accurate records of heritage, the AQHA maintains the largest equine registry in the world, with over 3.7 million registered American Quarter Horses. They keep track of all ownership records, performance and produce data, as well as American Quarter Horse population figures. The American Quarter Horse Association's Worldwide Headquarters is located in Amarillo, Texas, and the American Quarter Horse Heritage Center and Museum is conventiently located right next door. The museum is open to the public and boasts a wide variety of research materials, exhibits, informative videos, and hands-on displays. Some notable American Quarter Horses include King, who set the standard for American Quarter Horses; Go Man Go, who dominated the American Quarter Horse racing scene by setting three track records and one world record; Dash for Cash, considered one of the greatest sires of racing American Quarter Horses; and Easy Jet who, as a 2-year-old, had 22 wins from 26 starts.
