What breeds of horses are palominos?

Answer 1

There are many breeds that can be palomino. Quarter Horses, Tennessee Walkers, Paint horses, and so many more- too many to list. A few breeds do not allow palomino coloring, like Arabians and Thoroughbreds and a few more.

Answer 2

Both. Palomino is a name for a coat colouration of the horse, but it is not named as a breed. It referred to as a colour breed, though, but not a true breed like that of the Friesian or Appaloosa because Palominos do not nor cannot breed true or produce offspring with the same coat colour as its parents. Palominos have a yellow or gold coat with a white or light cream mane and tail. Colouration of the body can range from a deep gold to cream. Palominos are never grey, chestnut nor liver-coloured with flaxen manes and tails. They are never to be confused with buckskins (yellow body with dark mane and tail) nor with duns (darker mane and tail with dorsal stripe).

The breeds of horses that have the palomino colouration include the following:

• Arabian
• Quarter Horse
• Halflinger
• American Saddlebred
• Tennessee Walking Horse
• Morgan
• Thoroughbred (though rare)
• Paint Horse
• Appaloosa
• Holsteiner

Answer 3

Palomino is a color and not a breed in and of itself. However many purebred breeds come in palomino as they carry the cream gene and those purebreds with the palomino coloring can be registered with a palomino registry. But again, no palomino is not a breed, let alone a pure breed.
