Biology
Although considered more of a color or classification, Palominos are also part of a breed of horses. In Spain, Palominos shared the name the Golden Dorado. A combination of Arabic, Spanish, and Moorish ancestry, Palominos came to the United States when Queen Isabella sent a stallion to her viceroy in Mexico, named New Spain at that time. From Mexico to Texas, the spread continued until Palominos had also reached California. Today, Palominos serve a wide range of purposes, from ranching and riding to racing and rodeos, and are valued for their all-around talent.
