I am not a huge fan of paints, I personally prefer more solidly colored horses without as much white but that is just a personal thing and has never stopped me from riding one.
Jet: he is a registered paint that I bought for $500 as a 5 year old stud. He had never been handled. I got him broke and sold him about 8 months later for $3500. He was a pretty nice horse but we never really got along.
And here is Prissy. She is a registered paint. She is 3 years old and I am currently training her under saddle for a friend of mine.
And here are a couple of pix from her first ride.
