Palomino is a colour of a horse, not a breed. Many horse breeds such as Arabian, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Morgan produce horses that are born with the palomino colour. It has been historically the most popular breed for the Royal Families, the nobility and high military officials and known as “the Queen´s horse“ and “the golden horse”. Nowadays, the Palomino from California are the most popular and well-known. They are easy to spot, thanks to their beautiful light brown to an almost dark brown colours, their white mane, tail and stockings, and their hazel, black and brown eyes. There are four basic variations of palomino colours. The colours are light Palomino, golden Palomino, chocolate palomino and pearl palomino. Depending on their diet, it will influence the hair colour of palomino horses, mane, tail, and coat. By adding certain minerals and proteins to the palominos diet, the hair will darken or lighten and look shinier.
