Here's the breakdown:
* Golden coat: The palomino color comes from a single dominant gene that produces a golden coat color. This gene is called "Cream".
* Blonde mane and tail: The blonde mane and tail are a result of dilution of the black pigment in the hair. This is caused by another gene, called "Extension", which comes in two forms: E (for black) and e (for red/chestnut).
* Specific breed: Palomino horses can occur in many breeds, including Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, Arabians, and more.
Therefore, it is inaccurate to say palomino horses come from a specific place. They are the result of genetic variations that can occur in any horse breed with the right gene combinations.
