I love boat trips on the Thames, The trip up to Richmond is great we saw Herons, and a lovely pub to eat in. 😊 NW UK is ugh weather, no gardening for me. So here I am a cup of tea and a crumpet with homemade jam. Yorkshire is a Skewbald horse brown and white. Black and white horse is a piebald.

Hi John I just wanted to share a little story. At the local supper market yesterday I met an elderly gentleman who started a conversation with me. He was wearing a cap sporting a blues badge. He went through his service with Parker Bowles. He told me some stories of his adventures and was very proud. Half an hour later he told me there are no sergeants in regiment due to Queen Victoria apparently it stands for slave and she wasn’t having it. So Corporal of the horse’s is the same rank. Very interesting I live in County Durham.

I just did some quick research on the difference between Piebald and Pinto. Pinto is the Spanish word for 'spotted'. Other than that, it seems they describe the same type of colouring on a horse. It just depends on where one is from. I always think of a Pinto being those that some of the Indians (or Native Americans. I mean no disrespect) used to ride in the movies.

Also, pinto refers to that unique two tome coloration. However a Paint horse must have thoroughbred or quarterhorse lineage with the two-tone pinto coloring. Pintos can be mixed with any breed of horse; it's the two-tone color that gives it the pinto name. So every Paint Horse can be called pinto, but not every pinto can be called a Paint Horse. I know there are groups who own one or the other and they can get quite heated if they hear you call their horse the wrong name. I don't know if it's like this in UK stables, but in US, there are more stables run by women than men. Plus more women own horses than men. And when you get groups of women stableing at a woman-run stable, there is bound to be drama over tack, over paddock space, or whatever has their panties in a twist in a given moment. Some can be quite toxic. My point is, this is where you would most likely have people get offended that you would call their horse by the wrong name. (The Horror!) A popular youtuber calls these women barn witches, which isn't very nice, but if the shoe fits....I find it frustrating because it ruins the fun of hanging out with your horse. Perhaps competitions have created this mean girl culture. It's sad. Here's my citation that contains a lot more info that I found interesting. karinabrez.com/blogs/news/what-is-the-difference-between-a-paint-and-pinto-horse

There are a couple of classifications of Paints and Pintos. If the horse is Black and White (not gray) they're called Piedbalds. Any other color and white (not gray) are called Screwbalds. Paint is a breed of horse ) American Paint Horse Association is their registry. Pintos on the other hand aren't a breed but a color. You have Pinto Arabians, Saddlebreds, Tennessee Walkers, Morgan's etc. The other classifications are Overo (pronounced O ver o) and Tobiano (Toe bee ann o). One is color on white, and the other is white on color. I get them confused at times so you're going to have to Google it. That Police Horse may have been a Gypsy Vanner (Irish Vanner, Irish Tinker's horse, Irish Cob).

There are several names for spotted horses, Pinto is a common one . Black base coat with white spots is a Piebald. White base with black is a Skewbald. Hope that helps. 😊 Thanks for the lovely walk through town!
