The Pintabian is a new breed of horse developed almost entirely from the Arabian with exception of an outcross introduced many generations back. They are a breed with not only Tobiano markings, but also must be over 99% Arabian blood. A TRULY RARE FIND INDEED!  Pintabians have the basic characteristics of the Arabian, type, substance and beauty. It is impossible for a Pintabian to be 100% Arabian. To produce a Tobiano one parent must be a Tobiano.  Therefore, the Pintabian breed was developed by continually crossing tobianos back to purebred Arabians.  When two Pintabians are crossed with each other, the result in foal still carries over 99% Arabian blood.  Pintabian foals without the desired markings are eligible for registration as " Breeding Stock" as they still meet the requirement of being over 99% Arabian in blood. Purebred Arabians may also be used as outcross horses to allow for additional bloodlines.  The PHA, was founded in Minnesota in 1992.  It was established for the purpose of providing permanent records and recognition of the Pintabian Horse, as well as to recognize the efforts of the breeders and owners of these horses.  Three registration divisions of the Pintabian Horse Registry include:  Division A: Purebred Arabian --  Division B: Breeding Stock: over 99% Arabian blood, but no Tobiano markings  --  Division C-colored: possess the desired Tobiano markings of the Pintabian and are over 99% Arabian in blood, at least one parent must be Tobiano. Pintabians are ideal for pleasure, showing, competitive and endurance sports, racing, driving, and they also make wonderful family horses. It is possible for the Pintabians to be Triple Registered (Pintabian, Half-Arabian and Pinto).
