He is a palomino with white hooves(well the light yellow kind of thing). What color hoof polish would I use on him?

Black is common for palominos, unless he has very distinct socks. If he has socks, LIGHTLY sand his hooves (just enough to get all the grime off so you can see the lightness of them, but be very careful as the hoof wall is there for a reason) and apply a few coats of clear polish.

– EDIT –

The reason you would use black is because the contrasting color would highlight his hooves and make him look clean and show-ready, whereas a clear coat on a palomino with colored legs will lack contrast and he will look as though you haven’t paid any attention to his feet. If he has socks, though, bring out the natural color by sanding lightly, because pastured horses will have a thick coat of mud and grime on their hooves, even when washed, and then add some clear coat for a shine.

So is this little guy really a palomino or something else?

He’s got a great personality and loves being brushed. He’ll follow me if I quit and softly nicker for more brushing!

Yes, palominos can be dappled. The gene for dapples is unrelated to color- you can have a dapple gray (most noticeable), dapple bay, dapple chestnut, and a dapple palomino.

That gelding is one owned by a friend of mine… he has dapples and has since he was around 6 months old. A lot of them are covered by his saddle pad though, plus this pic was taken in winter when he is less dappled. In the summer he looks like a palomino version of a dapple grey.

BTW, a buckskin horse would be capable of producing a palomino. They are both caused by the cream gene, so the foal must have gotten the cream gene from the parents. It then got the red gene from the parents too- they must both be carriers for "red".

That explains chestnut/versus black (why your foal was palomino and not buckskin)

That explains the cream gene, what makes your foal a palomino and not a sorrel/chestnut.

It doesn’t matter at all that there was no palomino close in his pedigree because buckskin is almost the same thing… a buckskin is just a palomino who has bay instead of chestnut as a base color.

1. no fences around
2. no houses, barns, cars
3. no tack on the horse [halters, bridles, ropes]

can someone give me a link to a pic ?
THANKYOU GUYS SO MUCH!

These are really good pictures, but I like #2 the best!

If things like MTG don’t work, there isn’t much you can do.
