I love Ponies


Especially Palomino Ponies

Palomino

For a horse to be a true palomino, it must have a dilution gene. Some breeds, however, have a chestnut coat that appears golden and it can be difficult to tell them from palominos. A good example is the Haflinger. While this breed has a light coat and a brilliant white mane and tail, it does not carry the dilution gene. Haflingers are genetically chestnut horses but it is very easy to mistake them for palominos.
