The Paint Horse

Imagine yourself back in Old West, when wild horses ran free. Imagine the time when Native American horseman followed the vast herds of buffalo across the Great Plains. When cowboys travelled hundreds of miles on cattle drives. A time when the horse was vital to survival in the great adventure that was in the American West. Among the most treasured of these horses was one decorated by nature with loud splashes of colour – the Paint Horse.

Descending from the horses introduced by the Spanish conquistadors, these Paints were once wild horses that roamed the Western deserts and plains. The history of the Paint Horse has been woven into a Western blanket of songs, stories and artwork.

The colourful part of our Western heritage still exists. We invite you to discover the West’s most colourful horse – the Paint Horse
