Pintabians are an Arab that is pinto with over 99% Arabian blood. So a half paint half Arab is NOT a Pintabian.

The Pintabian is a breed of horse that must be verified as to having 99% or more of purebred Arabian blood, with a tobiano coat pattern. Tobiano, color pattern, is non-symmetrical , with large, irregular spots.

There are only about 350 Registered Pintabians in the world, making them a rare and valulable breed.





This chart may help you determine the percentage of Arabian blood

• 3/4 Arabian = 75% Arabian in blood
  
• 7/8 Arabian = 87.5% Arabian in blood
  
• 15/16 Arabian = 93.75% Arabian in blood
  
• 31/32 Arabian = 96.875% Arabian in blood
  
• 63/64 Arabian = 98.4375% Arabian in blood
  
• 127/128 Arabian = 99.21875% Arabian in blood (Pintabian)
  (and higher)
