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.

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 are semi quarter horse bars?
Saddles that have 'full quarter horse bars' were developed especially for stock type horses such as the Quarter Horse. Stock type horses tend to have wider backs around the withers. Sometimes called 'mutton withers', these backs need a wider saddle for a proper fit. So the bars (the front part of the saddle that sits on either side of the withers) were widen. A saddle with semi quarter horse bars are slightly narrower than a full quarter bar. In the same way shoe sizes come in full and half measurements, semi quarter bars make for a better fit since every horse's back and withers can be different.
