| A Palomino "would have been"
a chestnut or sorrel, but it got a cream gene from one of its
parents. One cream gene acts on a chestnut/sorrel base to make the
mane and tail hairs nearly white, and the body hairs various shades of
"gold".
Palominos' various shades range from the lightest ivory color, or
"Isabella" Palominos (see "Doc" at right), to the
darkest "chocolate" Palominos (see 3 pictures at right). The
ideal is the color of bright gold.
Many Palominos are lighter in winter than in summer. |
