PALOMINO 🐴In order for a horse to be registered as a Palomino it must first meet specific colour requirements. The ideal coat colour is that of a gold coin, lighter or darker is acceptable.
🐴The Palomino has come down through the pages of history. During the days of the Crusades, the Emir Saladin presented Richard-Coeur-de-Lion with two splendid war horses, one was a gray and the other a Golden PALOMINO!
🐴The Palomino Horse Association is the Original Palomino Registry incorporated in 1936. Today's Palomino Horse Association is the continuation of the registry which officially began in California in 1935, when Dick Halliday registered the golden stallion El Rey de los Reyes.
🐴 Mr. Halliday researched the golden horse for many years. He started writing magazine articles that brought the Palomino into public attention. His articles created a great deal of interest in the Palomino, and within a few years, hundreds of breeders were specializing in the production of this color.
