Intro
Also called Irish Piebald and Skewbald, the Irish Pinto is a color breed, much like the American Paint Horse. The breeding objective of the registry is the preservation and promotion of spotted breeds (including Appaloosa), while identifying and recording bloodlines that carry spotted genetics.
Origins
This breed is relatively new for breeds of the British Isles, established in the 20th century. The modern breed is the result of Irish Cob and Irish Sport Horse crosses and was formerly known as the Irishman’s Under-Shunter.
