... a horse whose dual-colored coat pattern is comprised of white areas combined with another of the basic coat colors common to horses, making each Pinto unique.

CONT

There are two recognized Pinto color pattersn : Tobiano(Toe-bee-ah’-no) and Overo(O-vair’-o). The Tobiano patteern appears to be white with large sports of color, often overlapping on animals with a greater percentage of color than white.... The Overo pattern appears to be a colored horse with jagged white markings usually originating on the animal' s side or belly, spreading toward the neck, tail, legs, and back.

CONT

The words "Pinto" and "Paint" both refer to horses with a light and dark coat pattern, but actually the terms have different meanings beyond the coloration. Basically, Pinto horses can be of any breed, so long as they sport the colourful coat. Paint horses come from parents that are purebred, registered Quarter Horses or Thoroughbreds, and that sport the light and dark coat pattern.
