I am looking to trade my 3 year old Reg.Paint for a dead broke quarter or paint horse. Any help would be great
I am looking to trade my 3 year old reg paint green broke for a dead broke quarter horse or paint, if anyone is interested please let me know. We also have a 2 yr old breeding stock.
I suggest you get online and list on the major horse web sites…i.e. Dreamhorse, Horsetopia, Equine etc. Just google "horse for sale" and you’ll be kept very busy. Then You might try you’re local 4H clubs, rescues and high school equestrian teams to see if any of the kids have outgrown their horses and want to trade. Also run ads in local paper and shoppers to get local responses. Post ads with pictures in tack, feed and other horse related stores. That should keep you busy for a while. Good luck. I have 2 paints one dead broke and she’s mine forever. Its worth the effort. Stew

Ok, my horse is black, but in the summer she gets a little brown around her flanks, and occasionaly her nose. This happens only a little in the winter. why does this happen? will putting a fly sheet on her help this at all? And please don’t tell me that she’s not black but brown. she’s my third BLACK paint horse that has done this, so don’t post if you’re going to say she’s brown not black
Sounds like sun bleaching. Make sure every time she gets sweaty you wash off the sweat and dry her, and yes get a nice fly sheet for her.
Are they laid back or quite fiery like a thoroughbred or warm blood?
it varies according to the horse. just like any breed you will find complete nut cases and you will find ones so sweet it’s unbelievable. It also depends on the way they were trained. my paint mare is a doll to be around , her 1/2 sister is a total ***** go figure. Like I said it all depends on many circumstances
I have a paint mare and want to breed her with a belgian draft stud. I know she couldn’t hold him it will be injected but my question is will it take and will she be able to give birth without any problems?
Yes i have a black and white one and she is stunning.
I found an article in an AQHA magazine about Quarter Horses with too much white on their body or in certain places. Also some paints can be double registered as a QH. So besides color is there anything else that distinguishes a Quarter Horse and a Paint?
Just a curious question =)
Thank you!
Not really much of a difference from APHA horses and AQHA (but let’s not get confused with pintos they are any horse with patches of white on their body! Almost any breed can occasionally produce a pinto, paints are usually the Registered ones that is how I tell the difference). Basically, sometime in the 1900 (I think around the 1960-1985ish) people started a registry for paint horses that were out of either Thoroughbred or Quarter horse bloodlines. I think that most of the APHA horses today are from the horses that were Quarter Horse, but didn’t have the solid coloring of a Quarter Horse so their owners registered them with the APHA. Not sure though. Some Quarter Horse ranchers get upset when their AQHA broodmares produces a foal with white patches…think they are too flashy I guess! Anyhow, APHA horses can be double registered with AQHA as well in situations like the one I just described. Purebred QH mare bred to purebred QH stud produces paint foal and is double registered.
The difference between a QH and a Paint, is mostly color and the fact that some APHA horses are thoroughbreds. Myself, I don’t believe that their is any difference at all between a APHA horse out of QH bloodlines other than color. I have realized over the years that they are just as intelligent and athletic as the Quarter Horse, just a bit more flashy. I actually prefer them to Quarter Horses (don’t get me wrong I’m all about ridin’ them,.. but I just LOOOVEE Paints).
By the way some Paints do get sunburn as well as some have light colored eyes that can be sensitive. But I heard that lots of cowboys used to ride them as cowponies…..
Does anyone get the American paint horse Journal? I really want to know the password for October on page 71.

Hope that helps.
I know with Thoroughbreds they can be high strung and other things. What are the negatives with Paints? If any…
We’re looking for a horse suitable for all disciplines of riders (novice through experienced) and to be ridden on trails. Horse would be kept in the pasture with our herd of nine.
There’s good horses and bad horses in every breed and regardless of color. My question though is if you have 9 all ready shouldn’t you know a little bit about them and others? And whats wrong with the ones you have?

I have a hobby horse and would like to paint it to look like a carousel horse, but, I don’t know what type of paint to use
Sand it thoroughly. Prime it with an alkyd (thins with mineral spirits) primer designed for the surface you’re going over; use wood primer over wood, metal primer over metal. Paint it with alkyd paints.
Alkyd paints tend to dry harder than latex, and therefore tend to be more durable. There are also some amazingly heavy duty latex paints, and if you call around to your local paint stores, they might have some, or they might just claim to have a paint that is amazing when it really isn’t, but on average unless you really want to put some effort into doing some research, alkyd enamels are your best bet. It’s also more traditional for a carousel horse.
For the carousel look, you’ll probably want to go with a high gloss enamel, which is good because high gloss paints tend to be more durable.
