Damm Google ;-).

The specialized term paint refers specifically to a breed of horse with American Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred bloodlines in addition to being spotted, whereas pinto refers to a spotted horse of any breed. Americans usually describe the colour of a pinto literally: black-and-white, chestnut-and-white, or bay-and-white.

Been rather hot here too Seekeerz, sitting at 38c at the moment, still time to warm up ;-)

[seekeerz]

Trust the Americans to confuse things !! Pinto is an accepted term in the show world here, but paint seems to be the general term ....go figure !!

You can keep your 38d.....I don't want to see another one over 28 for the rest of Summer :((
