paints are the sames as all horses.

The question does not make sense. Wild horses eat just like other wild herbavores. They graze on grass and plants. As far as I know there are no "wild" paints. The paint horse is actually a specific breed. Derived from the American Quarter Horse and selected Thourobred. They had too much white on their coats so could not be registered as Quarter Horses. The American Paint Registry began around 1965 to provide a registry for these "too white" Quarter Horses. Wild horse herds have "pintos" which are horses that have the same patterns as the Paint horse breed but they can be any other breed or combinations of breeds. I believe American Mustang is now considered a breed but these horses can't be registered Paints because they did not come from Quarter Horses or Thoughobreds. Simply put, Paints are a breed, pinto is a color or color pattern.
