Answer
Well, It Is Both Coat Color And Breed. Although Some people think It Is Just A Coat Color.
Answer
Palomino is both a color and a registered breed. A horse can be registered as a Palomino or as another breed. For example, a Quarter Horse that is the palomino color could be double registered as a Palomino AND a Quarter Horse. Technically it is just a color...the registry is a Color Registry, not a breed registry.
Answer
Genetically, palomino is just a coat color caused by a single allele of a chestnut dilution gene, cream. The official registry, called Palomino Horse Breeders of America, accepts properly colored and registered mares, geldings and stallions of the following breeds:
- American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA)
- American Paint Horse Association (APHA)
- Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC)
- American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASH A)
- American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA)
- American Holsteiner Horse Association (AHHA)
- Arabian Horse Association (AHA)
- Arabian Horse Registry (AHR)
- International Arabian Horse Association (IAHA)
- International Morab Registry (IMR)
- Jockey Club (JC) (Thoroughbreds)
- Mountain Pleasure Horse Association (MPHA)
- Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association (MFTHBA
- Pinto Horse Association of America (PtHA) Horse Division Only, both sire and dam must be currently registered with a breed association recognized by PHBA.
- Rocky Mountain Horse Association (RMHA)
- Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors'Association (TWHBEA).
- United Quarab Registry (UQR)
The rules also allow exceptions for palominos with verifiable pedigrees whose sire or dam is registered with PHBA, or which have been DNA-tested for the cream gene.
The registry also has conformation requirements. See Related Links for registration information.
