Palomino is a color, not a breed. Therefore the palomino color came about whenever the cream gene mutated and occured in horses. When this occured is still not 100% known. It is known however that the Turkoman (Akhal-Teke) horse carried the cream gene, thus enabling palomino colored foals to be born and that breed has been in existance for over 3013 years.

Spain. Palomino is a color and has been present in horses for a fairly long time. It is caused by the Cream Dilution gene, so as long as the breed carries the cream gene, they can also have palomino coloring. No one is 100% certain where cream or Palomino first cropped up, but it is likely caused by a genetic mutation.
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.

Are palomino horses good?
Hard to say because palomino is really more of a color. but you can register any breed of horse with the Palomino horse association as long as it meets their color and conformational requirements. the horse must be light. medium, or dark gold with no more than 15% dark hair in their mane, tail, or forelock. The idea of registering a palomino as a type began in 1936 when Dick Halliday registered his horse El Rey De Los Reyes who was a Spanish horse. no one really knows the story behind the name of the palomino name but Queen Ysabella De bourbon of Spain sent a Palomino Stallion and 5 brood mares to New Spain. now know as Mexico to improve the "new world". So people think it has some thing to do with that. I kind of depends on what you would want to do with it because as I said before, they are not really a breed so much as a type. you can get a Palomino horse from any breed. Quarter horse, Thoroughbred, Clydesdale. I hope that this helps! good luck on Search for your horse! ;)
How do you care for a 1 yr old palomino colt?
The color of a horse has nothing to do with how you take care of it (with the exception of certain very pale colors). A yearling will need adequate nutrition, room to roam around and play and a companion of some sort. Around this time you can begin bridle training the horse and teaching how to long line.
