Intro<\/h3>\n

The pinto<\/a> pattern has existed in the Cuban<\/a> Criollo<\/a> population for as long as as horses have existed there (since the 15th century).
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

In 1974 more work was put into genetic improvement of this colorful breed by adding Pinto Criollo<\/a>, Pinto Quarter Horse<\/a> and pure pinto Thoroughbred<\/a> blood. <\/p>\n

The resulting animal is medium in size and compact in build, carrying the tolerance and resilience of the Criollo<\/a> type; the height and refinement from the Thoroughbred<\/a>; and the well-defined musculature of the Quarter Horse<\/a>. These animals were hard workers with superb stock working ability. <\/p>\n

Physique<\/h3>\n

Medium sized horse with well-defined muscles.<\/p>\n
