To some they are just horses of a different color. But to paint horse owners, they are a special passion. The Paint Horse Show is held on the first Saturday each year at the West Texas Fair.
Many spectators miss the show because they want to see the parade.
Some of the Paints look like an un-finished paint job, while others look like they were painted by the numbers. Each has its own markings, and no two are exactly alike in color and coat pattern. They have been referred to as Pinto as well as Paint. For registration and breeding purposes, American Paint Horses are categorized by their distinctive coat patterns. Generally, all four of the tobiano's legs are white, at least below the hocks and knees.
