Spotted horses have been a favorite mount of people for years
for their pretty coloring. Also in nature, such color variations were useful
as camoflague. The Pinto is a color type breed in which their classification depends on
their coat color. Many different breeds can be qualified as a Pinto. The
Pinto has two classiffications of coloring: Overo and Tobiano. They are opposites of
each other. Overo has a solid basic color with patches of white on it. Tobiano
has a base of white with solid color patches on it. The Pinto horse Association of
America also classifies pintos into different types based on their body conformation with
an additional division for ponies and miniatures. What makes a Pinto different
than a paint is strickly their blood line. Pintos come from an array of backgrounds
while Paints must be of Paint, Quarter horse, or Thoroughbred decent. Most
Paints can also be categorized as Pintos but not all pintos can be classified as paints.
