Palomino is actually just a color, not a breed. People often get confused about that, but several breeds can have the palomino coloring.

I meant Zoe, a palomino is both a breed and a color. But when I was little I often thought a stallion was a breed, I didn’t know any better. Haha.

I have gone directly from the barn out to dinner, wearing muddy (read: poo) riding boots and breeches coated in arena dust. I also had sweaty helmet head and my hands could have been cleaner. Dinner was delicious!

My friend and I saw the Budweiser Clydesdales at the fair pulling the Budweiser wagon. Behind them came the ponies (all the same markings as the Clydesdales in miniature) and she said “Oh look! Baby Clydesdales” as she thought they were actual offspring of the large team. * SIGH*

Some people think ‘stallion’ is a breed. Also some people think ‘palomino’ is a breed.

Thanks, great article.

Anyone who thinks a Mini is a pony, go up to a Mini person and say “nice pony” 😉

Diane…. “A mini horse is a breed… pony is a size. also, mini horses are not considered ponies. pony can be any horse breed under 14.2 hands tall… a draft can be a pony as long as it’s 14.2 or under! mini’s are perfectly proportioned to a standard sized horse… just a small scale version and retain all the characteristics of a horse.. that’s why they’re not considered a pony. ponies typically have different conformation characteristics than horses.”
