A palomino mare with a chestnut foal. This golden shade is widely recognized as palomino. Palomino is a genetic color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail; the degree of whiteness can vary from bright white to yellow. The palomino color derived from the inter-breeding of Spanish horses with those from the United States. [1]
Palomino Horse Breeders of America: A color breed registry that accepts horses of palomino color, including part-Arabians and even the occasional chestnut purebred Arabian with flaxen mane and tail if a light enough chestnut to meet the registry standard. (Purebred Arabians do not carry the creme gene that produces a true genetic palomino.)
The first Arabians of Polish breeding arrived in 1966, and Egyptian lines were first imported in 1970. Arabian horses from the rest of the world followed, and today the Australian Arabian horse registry is the second largest in the world, next to that of the United States. [193]
The Welara is a part-Arabian pony breed developed from the Arabian horse and the Welsh pony. It was originally bred in England by Lady Wentworth at the Crabbet Arabian Stud in the early 1900s from imported Arabian stallions and Welsh pony mares. Breeding then spread throughout North America.
The greatest financial successes were the sale of the Janów stallion El Paso for USD 1 million in 1980, Bandos for USD 806,000 in 1982, and in 1985 the mare Pencylina for USD 1.5 million. In 2015, a price of EUR 1.4 million was obtained for the mare Pepita, and the sale at this auction amounted to EUR 4 million.
Her sire was the chestnut pinto stallion Pied Piper, and her dam was the smoky black pinto mare Phantom. Both of her parents were Chincoteague ponies. Misty grew to be a 12 hands (48 inches, 122 cm) palomino pinto with a marking on her left side, resembling a map of the United States, and a blaze shaped like the state of Virginia.
The original Trigger, named Golden Cloud, was born in San Diego, California.Though often mistaken for a Tennessee Walking Horse, his sire was a Thoroughbred and his dam a grade (unregistered) mare that, like Trigger, was a palomino.
Horses with chestnut or chestnut-family coats - such as palomino, red roan, or red dun - are therefore unaffected by the gene and may silently carry it and pass it on to their offspring. On the template of a black horse, which has a coat rich in eumelanin, the effect is that of complete conversion to varying shades of silver.
