The American Paint
Horse
By Glynn W. Haynes
This book is the first comprehensive history of an admirable American
breed of horse that has at last come into its own. It is a ready
reference for the breeder and a broadly based account for the historian
of the equine species.
The author searches out the past, describing the origin of painted
horses in ancient times, their movement across Europe, their arrival in
the Americas, and their acceptance in the 1960s as a distinctive breed.
Accompanying his text with many illustrations, the author discusses
breed characteristics, bloodlines, and color patterns. He emphasizes the
genetic principles involved in breeding authentic Paints. Included are
descriptions and charts of markings of the tobiano, the overo, the
criulo, the criollo, and-that fascinating occurrence-the Paint cropout.
"As this book portrays beautifully, there are plenty of fine, registered
paints with bloodlines equal to the best of quarter horses, and
conformation that is virtually flawless. It is about time that someone
presented a sound historical, informational and colorful book about this
breed, and this one, with its numerous color pictures and chapters about
coloration, breeding and training meets the need." Horse and Rider.
"The pictures are enough to convince the most skeptical of the worth of
the new breed. Haynes has written a well-organized and comprehensive
book, including chapters on outstanding paints of the past and present.
All horse lovers will treasure it." Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
