Glad you asked DD, I thought maybe I was the only one that didn't know.

I think this is what she was referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_white_syndrome Affected foals are born after the full 11-month gestation and externally appear normal, though they have all-white or nearly all-white coats and blue eyes. However, internally, these foals have a nonfunctioning colon. Within a few hours, signs of colic appear; affected foals die within a few days. Because the death is often painful, such foals often are humanely euthanized once identified

Yeah, that's it. LWO is a strange, sneaky gene, some horses have the classic "frame" markings to let you know what you have, and others don't give you a clue. People love loudly marked pintos, and many of them carry more than one pinto pattern. If the owner knows the LWO status of their horse before they breed it, they can choose a pairing that makes a LWO Foal one less thing to worry about.
 
I have a true white mustang mare. She's a character. However she can NOT carry. We've tried many stallions. She aborted at nine months last time. She carries the gene.

What is the difference between a paint horse a pinto horse?

Simply put, when someone talks about a Paint horse, they are talking about a breed. But when someone talks about a pinto horse, they are talking about a color.
Paint horses have a specific stock-type body type and are closely related to the American Quarter Horse. To register a horse with the American Paint Horse Association, both the sire and the dam must be registered paint horses but pinto coloring is not required! The APHA has a special "breeding stock" division for Paint Horse who lack pinto coloring.

Pinto horses, however, may be of any breed or type, because the word "Pinto" simply refers to color. A Saddlebred, for example, may be a Pinto, but could never be a Paint. Pinto horses come in all shapes and sizes. A color-based registry has opened for Pinto horses. Instead of breeding being the qualifier for registry, color is. Any non-draft, non appaloosa colored may join the Pinto Horse Association of America.

So as you can see, the difference is that while most Paints are pintos, only some pintos are paints!
