Answer 2:
Palomino is one copy of the cream gene acting on a red (chestnut) horse. The exact shade of palomino will depend on how those genes are expressed including how dark the chestnut horse is, and how dark the horse carrying the cream gene is. Also what may appear to be a chocolate palomino may be a sooty palomino, you can also get a sooty chocolate palomino.
