Description
I love horses almost more than any other animal so when I see one, I know I must make this marvelous animal come to life. Palomino horses are such a gorgeous soft color to behold.
Due to their distinct color, palominos stand out in a show ring, and are much sought after as parade horses. If you are old enough to remember, they were particularly popular in movies and television during the 1940s and 1950s. One of the most famous palomino horses was Trigger, known as "the smartest horse in movies," the faithful mount of the Hollywood cowboy star Roy Rogers. Another famous palomino was Mr. Ed who starred on his own TV show in the 1960s.
