Best Answer

Pinto is a color not a breed of horses.

There is a Pinto Horse Association which can include any breed. The American Paint Horse Association includes only horses with Quarter Horse, Paint Horse, or Thoroughbred bloodlines.

So a 'Pinto' is a white and any other color in 'patches' of any breed, while a 'Paint' is white and any other color in 'patches' of the Quarter Horse, Paint or Thoroughbred breeds.

How does a wild paint horse eat?

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.

Is a pinto a color or a type of horse?

The American Paint Horse Association registers only a specific line of horses that are built like the Quarter Horse but exhibit Paint markings - which are: Tobiano, Overo, and Tovero. The Pinto Horse Association registers almost any breed that exhibits these markings. They will reqister horses from Miniatures up to draft horses. The term 'pinto' is used to describe any horse exhibiting the Paint horse markings whereas a Paint horse is a horse registered with the APHA and exhibit the conformation of a stock horse.

What breeds of horses are the prettiest?

Answer 1:Paints, appaloosas, quarter horses, and Pintos (Pintos are pretty much the same as paints just a little bit different) I think theses horses are the most prettiest horses around but my favorite are paints. Answer 2:Whichever ones you think are the prettiest, everyone has a different opinion, for example, to me the prettiest is a Friesian, but I know someone who likes the Appaloosa the best Answer 3: No one breed of horse is anymore pretty than the other. This is because each person will have different likes and dislikes.
