    Palomino is, simply, a diluted chestnut. The gene for that dilution is somewhere in the horse’s line. To guarantee a palomino foal, a chestnut crossed with a cremello or perlino will produce a palomino foal.

    Chestnut is a dominate gene, palomino is a dilution. That you can get it from by crossing a buckskin(deluded black) and a sorrel, or a chestnut. But normally it is by crossing a buckskin/dunn and a sorrel(with a flaxen mane/tail). To find out more on how to get colors like palomino, cremello ect. The AQHA has a great color chart with the genes that make the color(recessive, dominate).

    Specifically, the gene is called ‘cream’. One copy of a cream gene on a chestnut makes a palomino.

    The creme dilution gene. You breed a chestnut/sorrel horse to a cremello, you get a palomino, guaranteed.
