i don't know whether its only colors or not

Answer 1

A paint horse normally has the required amount of white to get regular registry papers.( at least one parent must be registered with the APHA, and the other can be a quarter horse or T.B.)
If a foal is born lacking the white he/she can still be registered but only under breed stock status.What this means is he/she cannot be shown in APHA shows against regular registery horses.
Now they are finally recognising the breed stock horse and putting breed stock classes at some shows.I believe this years World Show was the first ever World show for these classes.
In years past a quarter horse that may have too much white to be register with the AQHA would be able to get breed stock papers from the APHA as long as it had qualifying white markings, but now they are allowing these quarter horses regular registry as well.

Answer 2

a Paint hore is one that is the different colors, i.e. black and white, brown and white, etc. A breedstock Paint is one that is a solid color and his parents are Paints. To get a Paint one hundred percent no questions asked, the stallion has to be homozygous for the gene.

Answer 3

also for it to be a paint any white markings other than those on the legs and face must be larger than 2 inches.
