When the American Quarter Horse Association was founded there were limits on the amount of white markings a horse could have. At that time it was felt that white feet for instance were weaker than dark colored feet (now proven not to be the case) and white faces were more prone to sunburn (true) and that blue eyes were a sign of blindness or weakness (not the case). There were many stockhorse type horses that had good working backgrounds but had too much white to be registered with AQHA. Later on the people who liked the horses with lots of white and felt that they were equal to the QH in ability formed their own association, the American Paint Horse Association. Since the QH breeders occasionally produced a foal with more white than AQHA allowed these were accepted into the Paint association as "cropout" Paints. Both associations only allow QH or TB cross breeding. A couple of years ago the AQHA changed their rules to make them more of a bloodline breed and allowed any horse within the Paint association that could prove all registered QH background (those cropouts) could also be registered as a QH since it was QH by bloodline. This has created the interesting situation of colored QH's (which are not allowed to show in the halter classes in AQHA shows since the amount of white they have is still considered to be not desirable) and horses that are registered with both associations. Within the Paint world there is one pattern that never goes back to all QH ancestry, the tobiano pattern. As a result of this no horse, even solids or overo's resulting from tobiano or tovero breeding, can be double registered with the AQHA.

What cowboy had horse named paint?
According to my childhood memories, there was an old show with a horse named "Paint.". My father has an old expression that he repeats constantly: "Okay old Paint, let's get where we ain't." According to the website: www.fiftiesweb.com/horses.htm, "Paint" is one of 3 names used for Tonto's horse in "The Lone Ranger" series. It says that the horse's name was "Scout," but that he was also called "White Feller" and "Paint." Hope this helps.
