It is a chestnut with one copy of the cream gene, which lightens red pigment to gold.
Unlike a buckskin, a palomino has a white mane and no black on the legs. Unlike a flaxen chestnut, the body is golden rather than red or dark.
Palominos occur among Akhal-Tekes, whose golden coat also has a metallic sheen.
What to use: golden or honey plush with white or cream yarn. Free hobby horse pattern →
