The Striking, golden coat color known as Palomino occurs in very early artifacts of Europe and Asia and is also very prominent in Japanese and Chinese art prior to the Ch'in period (221- 206BC). The color is also found in many horse and pony breeds. For that reason, the palomino is a "color type" and not really a "breed."

In America, however, the Palomino has acquired virtual breed status through the efforts of the Palomino Horse Association Inc., a body formed in 1936.

The Spaniards introduced the Palomino color to America in the horses they brought with them, and it is now found in many breeds and types.

Palominos are much in demand in Western riding activities.
