I think you're right because I remember reading that some horses that had previously been registered under the Paint Association could now be registered under AQHA. Which makes alot of sense, I mean some were pretty much solid in color, but had maybe a white patch on their belly or really high stockings and could not be registered by the AQHA.

Sometime back I read that the AQHA association was going to start registering QHs ?of color? rather than making them register under the Paint Horse Assoc.?s registery. Both parents needed to be QH, of course, and I?m pretty sure the article also said it was going to be retroactive for those that wanted to register their QHs that were already registered as Paints. Personally, I thought think it?s a good idea, since obviously the color gene is still in the QHs, why put the horses that display the gene into a different registry just because someone didn?t like ?color? at some time in the past.

Paint is a breed the same way that Pinto is a breed - they have a registry that selects by color.  Paints are Quarter Horses with pinto characteristics and the AQHA will not register them, so they came up with their own registry.
