Description
Pintos are piebald horses, known especially as “Indians” and Western horses.
Pintos have unique, beautiful fur drawings that give the horses more personality.Nevertheless, the Pintos do not form a separate breed. They are a colour breed, which is found in almost all breeds. The coat patterns are different in “Overo” and “Tobiano”. Overos have a coloured coat with white piebald. Their head is often completely white. Its a so-called “lantern”. Tobianos on the other hand, have a white coat with coloured piebald. Legs and back remain mostly white.
Fun fact
Pinto is Spanish, meaning painted.
