Palomino

Palomino is a distinctive horse coat color characterized by a golden or tan body with a white or light cream mane and tail. It results from a specific genetic variation of the Chestnut gene combined with a dilution gene called the "cream gene," which lightens the coat color while preserving the natural chestnut hue. Palomino horses are known for their striking appearance and are popular in entertainment and show rings. The color can vary from a rich, deep gold to a pale, almost white shade, but the hallmark is the elegant contrast between the body and mane/tail.
