Pintabian

The Pintabian has 99% Arabian blood and tobiano markings.  Their patterns are non-symmetrical and they have large, irregular spots on their bodies.  They cross the topline between tehir ears and tails, but are placed randomly over the horse.  Most of the Pintabian horses have white markings on their heads, sometimes with a star, strip, or blaze.  Most commonly all four of the Pintabian legs are white.

Ideally, Pintabian horses are about 50% white and 50% colored, but they can vary.  In order to produce a spotted horse of this type, at least one of the parents must be tobiano.  Pintabian horses were developed by the continous breeding of purebred Arabians with tobianos.

Pintabians have arched necks, short backs and carry their tails high. They are between 14 and 15.2 hands and weight between 900 and 1100 pounds.
