A palomino is a horse with a golden or cream body and a white, or almost white, mane and tail. It is a colour, not a breed: palomino horses can come from several kinds of horse. People keep them for riding and for shows because the colour is so striking in the sun. Though actually, English speakers sometimes stretch palomino to mean that same gold-and-cream look on other things, but the home of the word is horses. In Spanish the name comes from paloma, a dove — a soft, light colour. In English it stays a horse word, a little special, not an everyday farm word like mare or pony.
巴洛米諾馬(金黃或奶油色的馬身,配上白鬃、白尾)。是毛色,不是品種。
組成Borrowed from Spanish palomino, from paloma, “dove” or “pigeon,” plus the small-word ending -ino. The horse was named for that light colour.
