Piebald American breed
Paint horses are a breed of American stock horse distinguished by large patches of white and another color—typically black, bay, or chestnut—on their coats.
The pattern varies widely: some are mostly white with colored patches, others mostly colored with white markings.
Paints descend from horses brought by Spanish explorers and were favored by Native American tribes.
The breed combines the spotted coat with the muscular build of quarter horses.
