The common characteristic of Schleich figures is meticulous, detailed workmanship and hand painting.

The American paint horse breed is a version of the quarter horse pinto pattern. The name of the breed is often confused with the term pinto, which is a collective name. All white-spotted horses are called this, regardless of origin. Patterns called pinto include tobiano, overo, and their combination, tovero. The panther or appaloosa pattern is not classified as a pinto pattern and is not accepted in the paint breed. The Spotted Horse is versatile in both recreational and competitive sports. Like the quater horse, it provides excellent performance in trail, pleasure, reining, cutting, working cowhorse and western touring riding. Its particularly good nature and strong nerves are combined with its extraordinary love of family, which is why the spotted horse is also an ideal companion for spending free time.
