The American Paint Horse; A Photographic Portrayal

Color is what you first notice about an American Paint Horse. Like priceless gems, Paints come in a dazzling array of hues - covering the entire equine color spectrum - and an infinite variety of coat patterns.Indeed, when speaking of Paint Horses the term "color" refers to not one, but two characteristics: the animal's background color and the pattern created by its white markings.The endless ways Nature works her palette in creating a Paint Horse is a large part of the breed's appeal, for no two horses are alike.In this book, photographers David R. Stoecklein and Darrell Dodds capture the full range of Paint color and personality with their breathtaking images of these beautiful animals at work on ranches and at play with children, giving their all in action-filled competition as well as enjoying quiet time during afternoon trail rides with their owners.We invite you to share in this celebration of the beauty, athletic ability and unique personality of this truly American breed - the American Paint Horse.
