Palomino is a color which is caused by the cream gene acting on a red (chestnut/ sorrel) base. Where ever the cream gene and the red gene exist you can have palomino colored horses. This includes Mustangs, Brumbies and other populations of wild and feral horses.

Are palomino horses wild?

There are two possible answers to this question depending on what was meant by 'wild'.1. Palomino is a color (not a breed in any way, shape or form.) and in no way affects a horses behavior. Just because a horse is a certain color does not mean it's going to be stubborn, wild, or fast. These old analogies are actually old wives tales.2. Palomino is caused by one copy of the cream gene acting on a red (chestnut or sorrel) horse. Therefore if the wild or feral horse population carries cream, then yes there will be wild/ feral palomino horses.

Is a palomino meaner than other horses?

Definitely not! You see, a horses color or breed doesn't affect it's personality at all, just like your hair color doesn't affect who you are. One palomino can be sweet and lazy, yet another could be wild and untamed! But there's no such thing as a 'mean' horse. Even if one bites, it only does that because it's scared. No horse is mean.
