Pinto Horses should have broad chest and well-muscled hindquarters. Being strong-boned, the Pinto horse should also possess refinement in the head and neck that is graceful and symmetrical along the top line. Selective breeding encouraged sparse tails in Pinto Horses, because they don't get entangled with undergrowth in rough country. There exist four types of Pinto Horses and ponies, based on the conformation and background:
  • The stock type is suitable for western events or Hunter Seat events. This type should display the conformation associated with the Quarter Horse.
  • The hunter type is suitable for the same events as the stock type, but displays the conformation associated with the Thoroughbred, an approved Warmblood, or the running Quarter Horse.
  • The pleasure type is presented in a natural manner and is suitable for general western, English, and driving events. Its conformation is associated with the Arabian or the classic Morgan breed.
  • The saddle type is suitable for the same events as the pleasure type and is associated with an American Saddlebred, a Tennessee Walker, or a Missouri Foxtrotter breed.
