Really a pinto is any horse with white. Paints are not the only breed with color and white. There are many registered breeds that have "white" markings like a paint. So the general definition for a pinto is any horse with color and white. I guess what I am saying is just b/c it has color/white but isn't a paint doesn't mean it is just a pinto. Hopefully I am making sense.

A solid paint is a horse that is a solid color that is registered with the American Paint Horse Association. It's parents can be colored or solid.

Wiki says it better then I did

Paint or Pinto?

The terms "paint" and "pinto" are sometimes both used to describe spotted horses, but in modern use there is a clear difference between the two terms. A pinto differs from a Paint solely due to bloodlines. A pinto may be of any breed or combination of breeds, though some Pinto registries may have additional restrictions. (Some do not register draft horses or mules, for example.) For a horse to be registered as an American Paint Horse however, it must have registered American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse, or Thoroughbred parents. Therefore, all Paint horses (except for the small number of "solids" allowed into the Paint registry) could be registered as pintos, but not all pintos qualify to be registered as Paints.

I always thought solid paints were breeding stock paints.........that's what I have been told!

Oh, think is confusing.

 

[srpaint]

A lot of people do call a non colored paint a breeding stock paint.
