Appearance
Garbed in a dominant white over any base color, pintabian presents a unique coat pattern that appears to be scattered or splashed over its body, a spectacularly distinctive trait in this breed. This equine phenotype usually stands between 14.2 and 15.2 hands tall with a well-muscled and compact frame. The mane and tail typically share the same color as the horse's base coat, long, plush, and dense. This breed features expressive, typically dark eyes, immune to significant age-related shifts in hue. Pintabian's iconic Pinto pattern, recognized by the scholarship of equine genetics, symbolizes the epitome of equine beauty.
Behavior
Pintabian exhibit a gentle and cooperative behaviour, making them a suitable choice for equestrians of varying expertise. They have good social skills, interacting well with both humans and other horses. These animals exhibit high sensitivity to stimuli, however, they remain composed, demonstrating their intelligence and willingness to learn. They display signs of moodiness through ear movements and tail swishing.
