pinto
As in beans and the horse with spots. Let's not include the car by that name. In American Spanish pinto can mean spotted and came from Latin pingere. I would imagine the Spanish for painting "pintura" is also in this line. Until I had done the research I had not thought about the difference between a paint horse and a pinto horse. For those of you who insist on knowing paint is a breed and pinto is a color.

Re: pinto
Ford had a great success with the Mustang, so they trotted out a new model and called it the Pinto. I always wondered why they didn't color it like a pinto, sort of a desert camo.
Anyway, I always thing of the old song, "I ride and old paint, I lead an old dan..."

Re: pinto
Perry: and "Across the alley from the Alamo, lived a pinto pony and a Navaho." You have enough Texan in you to remember that song.
