Pintos are piebald horses, known especially as "Indians" and Western horses.
The Schleich Pinto horse is a favourite amongst Schleich collectors.
Pinto horses were much loved by American Indians, because their coloured coat served as great camouflage. In the summer they preferred dun horses, chestnuts and sorrels. In the winter they rode on white Pintos. They were difficult to make out against a snowy landscape.
Fun fact
From a distance, the pattern on the Pintos' coat seems to merge with the landscape.
