Pintaloosa (Breed)
Conformation: Pintaloosas are a new crossbred breed, to get a Pintaloosa you breed a Appaloosa with a Paint, Spotted Quarter Horses, Quarter Ponies, Appendix Quarters & Thoroughbreds are also used

Acceptable outcrossing: Appaloosa, Paint Horse, Quarter Horse, Quarter Pony, Appendix Quarter, Thoroughbred
