I need instructions on how to paint breyer horses. I have all my model paints, 25 to be exact. All of my different sized brushes, 9. I also have one of my 15 breyer horses I have picked out to paint. I need very thorough instructions too. (Is it true I have to sand all the paint off?)

here u go

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.

Where is a website with the best price?….I also am talking about shipping as well

I already have the foamer tool

Yes, there is a website! I’ve never used a foamer on my show horses, just good old elbow grease (scrubbing) and mane and tail shampoo.

I looked up the website for you on google.

They do have their own q & a page.

I have been given some free leftover paint. I think it was all used indoors on walls. I’d like to re-paint some wooden horse jumps that need it badly, but the jumps are kept outside year round. Could I use this paint on the jumps? What happens when you use indoor paint outside?

Everyone here said it correctly but I will add one little thought to this. The hardest part of doing a paint job is not buying the paint, but in the prep work and labor of the painting. Why would you go through all that work just to see it all come off in another year and then have to restart the entire project over again? Keep the left over paint for something indoors and buy a quality outdoor paint for your horse jumps.

just wondering.

Quarter horse:
The American Quarter Horse is an American breed of horse that excels at sprinting short distances. Its name came from its ability to outdistance other breeds of horses in races of a quarter mile or less; some individuals have been clocked at speeds up to 55 mph (88.5 km/h). The American Quarter Horse is the most popular breed in the United States today, and the American Quarter Horse Association is the largest breed registry in the world, with over 4 million American Quarter horses registeredThe American Quarter Horse is well known both as a race horse and for its performance in rodeos, horse shows and as a working ranch horse. The compact body of the American Quarter Horse is well-suited to the intricate and speedy maneuvers required in reining, cutting, working cow horse, barrel racing, calf roping, and other western riding events, especially those involving live cattle. The American Quarter Horse is also shown in English disciplines, driving, and many other equestrian activities.

Paint Horse:
The American Paint Horse is a breed of horse that combines both the conformational characteristics of a western stock horse with a pinto spotting pattern of white and dark coat colors. Developed from a base of spotted horses with Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred bloodlines, the American paint horse Association (APHA) breed registry is now one of the fastest-growing in North America. The registry allows some non-spotted animals to be registered as "breeding stock Paints," and considers the American Paint Horse to be a horse breed with distinct characteristics, not merely a color breed.

Basically, paint horses are pinto quarter horses I guess you could amateurly describe.
