what does palmino mean?

Question

what does palmino mean?

Answer 1

It was named for the color of the Palomino wine grape and also means

a stain or a pigeon.



There are no Palomino purebred Arabians so the color did not descend from that line of horses. They were originally called Ysabellas because Queen Ysabel of Spain favored the color and "collected" the horses of that color.





"Legend has it that the Palomino horse was considered the horse of royalty in Spain when Queen Ysabella ruled. Queen Ysabella was rumored to have had a herd of golden horses that numbered in the hundreds. They were specifically bred for their coat color, and were kept apart from common breeds of horses as well as from the common people. The riding and owning of the golden horses was reserved for royalty and the upper class alone. It has been recorded that queen Ysabella sent one golden stallion and 5 mares to her Viceroy in New Spain (which is now known as Mexico

), to perpetuate the golden horse in the New World. Today it is believed that the Palomino horse originated from those brought over to Mexico. The golden blood then spread into Texas and eventually up into California. The true origin of the Palomino will probably never be determined"

Answer 2

Palomino Definition

Answer 3

Palomino is a coat color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail. 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. However, most color breed registries that record palomino horses were founded before equine coat color genetics were understood as well as they are today, and hence the standard definition of a palomino is based on the coat color visible to the eye, not the underlying presence of the dilution gene.

Answer 4

I could not think of a better explanation than this one given by en.wikipedia.com. For more information on Palomino horses and how to register and show them, visit http://www.palominohba.com/. Have a great day!



"Palomino is a coat color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail...While the breed standard states the ideal color is that of a "newly minted gold coin" (sometimes mistakenly claimed to be a penny), some palomino registries allow a coat color that may range from cremello, an almost-white color, to a deep, dark, chocolate color ("chocolate palomino"). Skin and eyes are usually dark, though some foals carrying the champagne gene are born with light-colored eyes that darken as the horse ages."



*Please note that palomino is not a breed, it is a color.*

Answer 5

That's not a word. Do you mean Palomino? Palomino means:

>>a horse with a golden coat, a white mane and tail, and often white markings on the face and legs, developed chiefly in the southwestern U.S.

Answer 6

A palomino is a color of horse. The body ranges from pale yellow hair in color all the way to a deep golden color. The mane (hair on neck), forelock (bangs), and tail are always a whitish color.

Answer 7

Horsybill and LBent's story's about Isabella and the Spanish influence on the development of the palomino are both correct, since they are pretty much the same. But it is doubtful that the name "palomino" came from either a grape or the word "palus." It more likely came from the Spanish word for "dove"...paloma. Palomino means "pale dove." Makes more sense to me that they'd derive the name from an actual Spanish word since they were Spanish, than from Latin word or a grape, but either is certainly possible.



It also could have come from the Spanish word "palomilla," which means milk-white horse, or man dressed in all white. This would also make sense since Isabella palominos, named after queen that loved them so much, are very light in color...more milky than golden.



There is also the possibility that the name came from a guy called "Juan de Palomino," a Spanish don who received one of these golden horses from Cortez.



No one can prove what the origin of the name is...that has been lost to history. There are just many speculations out there. As to what the color palomino IS...you've already been given many good answers explaining that so no need for me to reiterate.

Answer 15

It relies upon what you're asking. Are you asking in spite of if the English be conscious "god" has a meaning; and if so what's it? Or are you asking in spite of if "God (the writer" has meaning in who he's and what He does? the 1st question concerning the Eng be conscious "god"; properly to be honest, i do no longer understand what's the muse of the be conscious. i assume i will verify on line, yet that must be me purely regurgitating what somebody else has written. I even have a tendency to think of of the Eng be conscious "god" to communicate over with "a or the writer". whilst used of the biblical God, then i could communicate over with "God" as meaning "the uncreated writer who's complete of potential and ought to; a king who has the superb and skills to choose, yet isn't restrained to a actual style" As for in spite of if the God of the Bible has meaning... i could say that the question is the incorrect way around: the God of the Bible is the flexibility via which ALL else has meaning. No ingredient could have meaning till the God of the Bible is fairly who He says he's. I understand then that this ability that one has to settle for that the God of the Bible - a million - Exists 2 - could properly be experienced via mankind 3 - The Bible is an precise account of God speaking with mankind (in its unique language) i assume what ought to help answer the 2d question is "Why ought to something have meaning?" Or extra desirable nevertheless "Why are human beings searching for meaning in issues?" in the time of ALL cultures in the time of all of recorded historic previous... desire this enables

"La Paloma.....dove"



http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/palomino



Palomino is a beautiful "golden" body color found on many horses. Accompanied by a white mane and tail. Many palominos have accompanying white socks, or stockings and a white blaze in their face.



Many have stated here that it is not a breed.....yet the Palomino Horse BREEDERS have been been in existence since 1941.



Registration requirements:



http://www.palominohba.com/Member%20Services/registration_rules.htm



http://www.palominohba.com/



(Horses accepted into the PHBA registry come from the listed, approved breeds in registration requirements). You may see an unregistered horse accepted into the PHBA but it must meet strict color requirements and excessive white restrictions.



You'll see many palomino's currently in the AQHA organization. "Shining Spark" is a popular AQHA stallion standing in Texas siring many sons and daughters who carry on his famous golden palomino color and cow smarts.

HB: Go find a crying towel. You and your "sister" have received more thumbs down than anyone could have imagined. I'm sure there's a message in that for you.

Take the hint. You're snake bit, and the buzzards are circling you.



EDIT: "Just breeding for color" the mantra of every back yard breeder.....OMG, how stupid.

Answer 33

Answer 34

its a color

Answer 35

It may have come from the Latin word palus which the word pale came from. Contrary to what Lbentfor said the term used for the horse didn't come from a grape. There is a palomino grape but the horse didn't get its name from it. Saladin gave Richard the Lion Heart 2 palominos. It is believed the were an Arabian and Barb cross. Queen Isabela prized them and kept a hundred palominos. Palomino was a Spanish surname and this is where it is thought that the name Palomino was given to these golden horses with white manes and tails. Queen Isabela sent a stallion and 4 mares to the New World and they spread thoughout North America from New Spain (Mexico).



I got this Palomino foal from a bay mare and a Black tobiano stallion.http://spotted.horsecity.com/photos/index.php?id=1535910&size=large



Gee 5 thumbs down for this answer. What is Wrong with it? None till Silver slider got on. Got your multiple accounts working silver, or your HPTS minions?



Palominos are not a breed. Any palomino horse of any breed can be registered in the palomino association.



Tact challenged, I didn't say anything until the thumbs down started piling on. You guys and your childish trolling. Look at the 20 I got. Who else did they come from. I only get this type of thing when certain HPTS answer the same question. You do the same to horse whisperer. If you aren't doing it then say something to others in HPTS. What was wrong with mine or horse whisperer's answers before the thumbs down started piling up. A lot HPTS persons can't take anyone to disagree with them. If they do this is what happens. Tons of thumbs down then several of you jumping in with your rude and insulting comments. I am getting sick of all of you. I used to try and ignore it, but you guys go to far. And as for flapping gums, you didn't need to jump in flapping yours. you and others just prove what I say. And keep your opinions about what I do and breed to yourself. You don't know me or what I do. I know to you Smart Little Lena, Strait From Texas, Tin Man, Adios Amigos and yes some non HYPP Impressive are nothing blood lines and I am just breeding for color. That is also none of your business and I didn't ask for your stupid opinion on it. Do you think I care about your stupid opinion.

Answer 36

Palomino is a Spanish surname. It was applied to the Golden Dorado Spanish horse back in the time of Queen Isabella. The term Palomino is the name for a golden horse with a white flaxen mane and tail.



Palomino didn't come from a grape although there is a a palomino grape. It may also have come from a Latin word meaning pale.





Lbent for and her HPTS buddies are at it. It looks like her answer has a lot of inaccuracies. Come on HPTS how many more thumbs down can you pile on? Silver Slider has probably thrown in her's too.



American you and your HPTS group are a joke and are the only ones that act like little girls.

Silver I am also French. Did you think I wouldn't understand your stupid french word gnaye takuni slolye sni.



Silver that wasn't my version of your French. It is what I called you. Idiot.
