Etymology

The term 'Palomino' has its origins in the Spanish word 'palomino', which is a diminutive of 'paloma', meaning 'dove'. This naming is thought to reflect the light, often cream-colored appearance of the horse, reminiscent of a dove. The Palomino color pattern has been recognized since the late 19th century, but the Palomino registry was formally established in the United States in 1936. The breed gained popularity in the mid-20th century, especially in Western riding disciplines. As a color breed, the Palomino is registered based on specific coloration criteria rather than pedigree, allowing for a wider variety of horse breeds to be represented under this designation. The Palomino has since become a favored horse among riders and enthusiasts for its striking appearance and versatility.
