Pretty Palomino Horses

What is a palomino?  It is a coat and skin color, nothing more.  The Palomino Horse Breeders Association describes the palomino as: "a color registry for horses standing between fourteen and seventeen hands tall and exhibiting body color, with variations from light to dark, of a U S fourteen karat gold coin. The skin is usually grey, black, brown, or motley without underlying pink skin or spots except on the face or legs. The eyes are usually black, hazel, or brown. The mane and tail must be white with not more than fifteen percent dark, sorrel or chestnut hairs."  The gold color can vary widely, as seen in this selection of photos.
