What adaptations does a palomino horse have for its environment?

Palomino is just a horse colour, there is no reason why it would have any adaptation for its environment beyond what normal horses have. Normal horses have a lot of adaptations for being grazers that live mainly on open plains. They have long legs with the muscle bunched at the top to enable them to move fast. They have long noses so they can see over the grass while eating it. They prefer to flee than fight and live in herds. Horses in cold areas grow long, shaggy coats in winter.
