Color

Although all horses have coat colors, the terminology "Color" is used to designate horses of various breeds that exhibit unusual or conspicuous hair color or are multi-colored -- including Paints, Pintos, Appaloosas, and Palominos.

Sites relating to horses bred for colour that do not have a specific ''breed'' listing. Horses that are a recognised ''breed'' - for example - Appaloosas or Paints, should be submitted to that sub-category of Sports/Equestrian/Breeds. However, studs that stand coloured stallions of several breeds - and breed for colour - may submit here but, if listed, will NOT be listed in individual breed categories.

Buckskins and Duns

The buckskin, (or dun), is a colour that occurs in many breeds.In the American West, horses of the Buckskin, Dun, Red Dun and Grulla hues trace to the Mustang -- Spanish Barb descendants which originated in Spain as the Sorraia. Other Buckskins brought to this country can be traced to the Norwegian Dun, descendants of the nearly extinct Tarpan horses. The flourishing number of Buckskin horses found today are the strongest living descendants of the ancestral breeds. Along with a mixture of other bloods, Buckskins can be found in all breed types.

Open to all clubs, associations, and organizations principally devoted to sponsoring the buckskin and dun horse in the equestrian sports.

Palomino

The Palamino is a color, not a breed, although the color occurs more frequently in particular breeds. It is a golden colored horse, usually with a lighter colored mane and tail.

Open to all associations, clubs, and organizations promoting the use of the Palomino breeds in the equestrian sports.

Also open to breeders who specialise in breeding palamino horses that are not of a specific breed. Breeders standing palamino stallions or producing palamino stock of a recognised breed should submit their site to Sports/Equestrian/Breeds in the appropriate sub-category. Sites will not be dual-listed.
