Genetically, the palomino color is created by a single allele of a dilution gene called the cream gene working on a ""red"" (chestnut) base coat. Palomino is created by a genetic mechanism of incomplete dominance, hence it is not considered true-breeding. However, most color breed registries that record palomino horses were founded before equine coat color genetics were understood as well as they are today, therefore the standard definition of a"

Both truly white horses and the more common grey horses, with completely white hair coats, were identified as ""white"" by various religious and cultural traditions. From earliest times, white horses have been mythologised as possessing exceptional properties, transcending the normal world by having wings (e.g. Pegasus from Greek mythology), or having horns (the unicorn)."
