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. Palomino coated horses are created by partial dominance of phenotypes, making it not an actual breed of horse. Most breed registries, being founded far before coat genetics were well understood, list and identify it as a visible and distinct coat pattern rather than a label attributed to horses with specific genes.
