I found 2. I don't see any white around her eyes but her hoofs are two toned. You can see the back one and I'll post another.

?? I was talking about Sarah Lee. She belonged to some girl for 4 years and then sold to a dude ranch. The ranch went out of business and a horse seller bought them up. She was with him a few months and my trainer bought her for me. We are trying to get the first owners name to try to find out if she can be registered. I just need to get assertive and start doing some tracking on my own.
Yeah, until summer. It gets dark here around 6 and often I can't get off work until 5. When we get back to the 9pm dusks we can ride more. Both young and need to be rode more than once a week.
Isn't one of the paint registries a color registry? Where you can register based on color, not breeding?
Yes, that's so. Ours don't get exercised nearly enough or ridden enough in the winter time. It would be lovely to have someone come out and ride them.
I know they can be registered as pintos. Is that what you mean?
I think so - I know very little about paints/pintos. As a matter of fact, all I know for certain is that the American Paint Horse Club and the Appaloosa Horse Club have the same initials. APHC and ApHC
Pinto is a color registry. Paint is AQHA and Appendix QH (thoroughbred) lineage. Parents have to have been a registered Paint, or a AQHA registered horse.
We're just guessing that there isn't anything about Sarah Lee that would indicate she isn't a 'purebred'. But no one knows if she was ever registered, or registerable.
She could probably be registered Pinto, but she isn't the style popular among pinto people. Pintos tend to be Arab or National Show horse in type.
That's one of the reasons that I wanted to see another picture of her close up. I swear she has white around the eye and striped hooves.
I'll pull one up. What does that mean though?
You'd find a buyer for the horse.... just at a price far below what you invested into the breeding, care, feeding and time spent raising it. It's hard enough to break even selling registered horses.
Heh..... you think she might be appy?
I don't remember striped hooves... she looked like a minimal white Paint.
That's what struck me. She appeared to have appy characteristics. Those mean an app somewhere in the background. Or a quarter horse mare that throws apps. The quarter horse registry just changed it's regs I think to allow registering excess white, although that wouldn't carry over to app coloring. The app registry will not register excess white.
However, unless you are going into the horse business and want to start selling horses, it doesn't matter if there are papers or not.
The up side of that might be that if you bred her you'd get lots of color :) maybe.
I've always thought that the paints that have the ragged edges on their color (like that one that was in the tv series about the pony express) were part Appaloosa.

The least expensive thing about my horses was the purchase. I could never break even. I know they do but I don't see how people make money.
This is the one I was thinking about. I don't know that I'd call her feet striped - what does a hoof on a white leg look like? Like that or white?
