What is the name for tan and white horses?

Strictly speaking, there are no black, white or black and white horses. Horses which appear black are just very dark brown and are officially called Dark Bay. This can be confirmed by examining the roots of the coat, which will clearly show brown. Similarly, most horses which appear to be white are actually just very Light Grey and are officially known as such. The only exceptions are true albinos, which lack any pigmentation whatsoever and injured or branded areas of a horses coat, where the pigmentation cells have been destroyed. That aside, a horse which appears white with black patches or white with black patches is called a Paint, as it looks as if someone has dabbed it with a paintbrush. This is often corrupted to Pinto (paint-o), particularly in North America. In official circles these are both regarded as slang terms, the type being correctly designated Piebald. Where the contrasting colour is Dun or Light Bay, the type is referred to as Skew Piebald or just Skewbald for short.

What are the light blue eyes of a horse called?

For a long time, people believed that a blue-eyed horse was blind. This is not true. Blue eyes don't mean anything, they are just blue. Typically, there is white on the face that covers the eye, especially in spotted breed such as the American Paint Horse, but sometimes a dark horse will just have blue eyes. Sometimes the horse can have one blue eye and one brown, or even have eyes that are mixed blue and brown in the same eye.

Is paint a color or a breed?

The colour "paint" for horses is both a colouration, just like pinto is recognized as a colour pattern under a colour registry, and a breed. Paints are also known as a breed under various registries, more close to home being the American Paint Horse breed registry which has horses with western stock breeding combined with the usual colour pattern of white on dark coat colours. Paints are predominantly registered if they have American Paint Horse, Quarterhorse and/or Thoroughbred breeding (not much of anything else) parents.

What is a Paint Horse?

Paint horses are a color breed. To add to the above answer. Paint horses were originally 'crop out' Quarter horses that could not be registered due to having too much white on them. A registry was formed and after a while the Paint horse became a breed based on pedigree rather than color alone. Almost all Paint horses are registrable as pintos provided they have the correct markings.
